Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.

• 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 hope the millions of people I've touched have the optimism and desire to share their goals and hard work and persevere with a positive attitude.
• The best evaluation I can make of a player is to look in his eyes and see how scared they are.
• I want to be perceived as a guy who played his best in all facets, not just scoring. A guy who loved challenges.
• If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.
• I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.
• Limits, like fear, is often an illusion.
• I can't speak for the future. I have no crystal ball.
• When I was playing before I retired, I never really understood the appreciation and the respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something, and that was very embarrassing.
• Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That's truly about the game, and in some ways that's about life too.
