Another day, another opportunity to prove everyone who doubts you wrong.

Don't let them drag you down by rumors just go with what you believe in.

My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn't stand the sideline.

It doesn't matter if you win as long as you give everything in your heart

It takes a hell of a lot for a man to put up with me. I can be a handful.

Its better to shoot and miss, then to let time run out and wonder what if

If you pass the ball to Bill Cartwright, you'll never get the ball from me.

I hate being out there with those garbage men. They don't get you the ball.

Sometimes you need to get hit in the head to realize that you're in a fight.

A coach is someone that sees beyond your limits and guides you to greatness!

It doesn't matter who scores. If you have an opportunity to score, you score.

My best skill was that I was coachable. I was a sponge and aggressive to learn.

My heroes are and were my parents. I can't see having anyone else as my heroes.

There was never any fear for me, no fear of failure. If I miss a shot, so what?

Accept a loss as a learning experience, and never point fingers at your teammates

If I have an agenda or a goal, no one is going to deter me from what I want to do.

If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it.

We all fly. Once you leave the ground, you fly. Some people fly longer than others.

I believe greatness is an evolutionary process that changes and evolves era to era.

It's not how hard you pushed along the way. It's having something in you to finish.

If you put your mind to doing whatever it is you want to do, good things can happen.

If you don't back it up with performance and hard work, talking doesn't mean a thing.

Even when I'm old and grey, I won't be able to play it, but I'll still love the game.

I have failed many times, but I have never gone into a game expecting myself to fail.

My most memorable dunk, that I think about very, very often, is the Patrick Ewing dunk.

I don't go out and just try to score. I score because there is an opportunity to score.

I wasn't really a work-conscious type of person. I was a player. I loved to play sports.

Sometimes, things may not go your way, but the effort should be there every single night.

If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them

I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish.

I don't know about flying, but sometimes it feels like I have these little wings on my feet.

Sometimes I wonder what it will be like to look back on all this. Whether it will seem real.

If I had been playing for money I would have complained a long time ago that I was underpaid.

It's always been said that when I can't find a way to do anything, I will find a way to do it.

I'm not a Twitterer, I'm not a twerker, I'm not a Facebooker, I'm not nothing. I'm old school.

The best evaluation I can make of a player is to look in his eyes and see how scared they are.

I'd take 12 guys who had a strong passion for the game over 12 guys who don't respect the game.

If I thought of the number of people who were watching me as I got ready to shoot, I?d miss it.

Since I've been in chiropractic, I've improved by leaps and bounds both mentally and physically.

I'm not out there sweating for three hours every day just to find out what it feels like to sweat.

Do I need my number retired throughout the course of the league to acknowledge what I've done? No.

I knew where I wanted to go, what kind of player I wanted to become and I focused on getting there.

I'm not a Twitterer, I'm not a twerker, I'm not a Facebooker. I am a ... nothin' ... I'm old school.

I missed 9000 shots in my career, lost almost 300 games and missed the shot to win the game 26 times.

Once I get the ball, you're at my mercy. There is nothing you can say or do about it. I own the ball.

There have been times when I have failed. But there have never been times when I thought I would fail

I'm a firm believer in goal setting. Step by step. I can't see any other way of accomplishing anything.

The game is my wife. It demands loyalty and responsibility, and it gives me back fulfillment and peace.

If you are confident you have done everything possible to prepare yourself, then there is nothing to fear.

Authenticity is about being true to who you are, even when everyone around you wants you to be someone else
