The key to success is failure.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.
You have to expect things of yourself before you can do them.
I never thought a role model should be negative.
My attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.
I’ve never lost a game I just ran out of time.
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
Everybody has ability; but talent takes hard work
If you’re trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I’ve had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
I’ve always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come.
As athletes, we’re used to reacting quickly. Here, it’s ‘come, stop, come, stop.’ There’s a lot of downtime. That’s the toughest part of the day.
Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.
Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.
I’ve never been afraid to fail.
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
Fear is an obstacle for some people, but to me it’s an illusion.
Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.
I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfilment and peace.
