I Have Failed Many Times, And That's

Basketball Isn't Just About The Bright Lights, Packed Arenas And Highlight Reels. Basketball Is A Way Of Life. Basketball Is A Relationship Between You And The Ball, You And Your Teammates. If You Love The Game, Nobody Can Take That From You.

My Heroes Are And Were My Parents. I Can't See Having Anyone Else As My Heroes.

If I Have An Agenda Or A Goal, No One Is Going To Deter Me From What I Want To Do.

Maybe It’s My Own Fault. Maybe I Led You To Believe It Was Easy When It Wasn’t. Maybe I Made You Think My Highlights Started At The Free Throw Line, And Not In The Gym. Maybe I Made You Think That Every Shot I Took Was A Game Winner. That My Game Was Built On Flash, And Not Fire. Maybe It’s My Fault That You Didn’t See That Failure Gave Me Strength; That My Pain Was My Motivation. Maybe I Led You To Believe That Basketball Was A God Given Gift, And Not Something I Worked For Every Single Day Of My Life. Maybe I Destroyed The Game. Or Maybe You’re Just Making Excuses.

When I Step Onto The Court, I Don't Have To Think About Anything. If I Have A Problem Off The Court, I Find That After I Play, My Mind Is Clearer And I Can Come Up With A Better Solution. It's Like Therapy. It Relaxes Me And Allows Me To Solve Problems.
