I believe in my heart I'm the best player in the world. I'm just a scorer. I try to put the ball in the basket for my team. I'm just confident in my ability to play ball.

You have to go through good times and bad times to get where you're trying to go.

I don't want to be another Jordan, Magic, or Isiah. When my career is over, I want to be able to look in the mirror and say 'I did it my way'.

I'd rather have more heart than talent any day.

I play every game like it's my last game. All that matters is that you go out there and play every game as if it was your last.

I'm not perfect. But I am trying every day to concentrate on being better.

A jump shot can get you a shoe deal, a big house, a supermodel, fancy cars, a bunch of yes men, a Swiss bank account. But none of these things can get you a jump shot

Mistakes happen. But after a while you've got to stop making them happen twice.

When you are not practicing, someone else is getting better.

When I was young, everyone laughed at me when I said that I wanted to be a professional basketball player...now it's my turn to laugh.

If you're struggling with your shooting, then do other things on the basketball court. Get steals, get assists, get rebounds-do anything on the court to help the team win.

It matters not which partner is bringing negativity into conversations and exchanges. Toxicity has no place at all between people who have promised to love each other.

You are rich when you are happy with what you have.

Beauty more than bitterness Makes the heart break.

When I was in south Sudan, people used to rap in my village. But the rapping was more in the mother tongue, Nuer.

You don't want to be so open minded that your brains fall out!

Look, how many stories have I broken? Hundreds. How many have proved to be untrue? There isn't one.

This nation, this generation, in this hour has man's first chance to build a Great Society, a place where the meaning of man's life matches the marvels of man's labor.

People go to church for the same reasons they go to a tavern: to stupefy themselves, to forget their misery, to imagine themselves, for a few minutes anyway, free and happy.

Greatness is not how you feel, it's how you make others feel.

One of the great ironies of the social media era is that some of the least social people in the world created it.
