Be Optimistic About Everything In Life.

I Would Never Play An Extra Year For Money. I Play The Game Because I Love It. I Just So Happen To Get Paid. If I Don't Feel I Still Enjoy The Game, I Can Care Less What A Year Is Worth. I'm Not Going To Play The Game Just Because Of Money.

If I Had Stood At The Free-throw Line And Thought About 10 Million People Watching Me On The Other Side Of The Camera Lens, I Couldn't Have Made Anything. So I Mentally Tried To Put Myself In A Familiar Place. I Thought About All Those Times I Shot Free Throws In Practice And Went Through The Same Motion, The Same Technique That I Had Used Thousands Of Times. You Forget About The Outcome. You Know You Are Doing The Right Things. So You Relax And Perform.

I Viewed It As A Business, But I Always Viewed It As A Game. An Opportunity To Show My Skills, My Basketball Skills, Amongst The Best In The World.

Focus Like A Laser, Not A Flashlight

Success Isn't Something You Chase. It's Something You Have To Put Forth The Effort For Constantly. Then Maybe It'll Come When You Least Expect It. Most People Don't Understand That.
