To Love Someone Is Nothing, To Be

You Got To Have The Killer Instinct. If You Do Not Have It, Forget About Basketball And Go Into Social Psychology Or Something. If You Sometimes Wonder If You've Got It, You Ain't Got It. No Pussycats, Please.

Concentration And Mental Toughness Are The Margins Of Victory.

Commitment Separates Those Who Live Their Dreams From Those Who Live Their Lives Regretting The Opportunities They Have Squandered.

I Hope I Epitomize The American Dream. For I Came Against Long Odds, From The Ghetto To The Very Top Of My Profession. I Was Not Immediately Good At Basketball. It Did Not Come Easy. It Came As The Result Of A Lot Of Hard Work And Self-sacrifice. The Rewards, Where They Worth It? One Thousand Times Over.

We Learn To Make A Shell For Ourselves When We Are Young And Then Spend The Rest Of Our Lives Hoping For Someone To Reach Inside And Touch Us. Just Touch Us—anything More Than That Would Be Too Much For Us To Bear.
