You have to be able to accept failure to get better.
You can't be afraid to fail. It's the only way you succeed - you're not gonna succeed all the time, and I know that.
I like criticism. It makes you strong.
I'm going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best life I can with it.
Every night on the court I give my all, and if I'm not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.
I always say, decisions I make, I live with them. There's always ways you can correct them or ways you can do them better. At the end of the day, I live with them.
In the next 15 or 20 years, I hope I'll be the richest man in the world. That's one of my goals. I want to be a billionaire. I want to get to a position where generation on generation don't have to worry about nothing. I don't want family members from my kids to my son's kids to never have to worry. And I can't do that now just playing basketball.
It's hard to win in the league, because every team is good, they got players on their team. A lot harder than high school. It's competitive, and that's what I most love about it.
My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.
I mean, when you grow up in the inner city and you grow up in a single-parent household, that's - those are humbling times, you know?
Warren Buffet told me once and he said always follow your gut. When you have that gut feeling, you have to go with don't go back on it.
I hear my friends and my mom tell me I'm special, but honestly, I still don't get it.
Once you become a professional athlete or once you do anything well, then you're automatically a role model ... I have no problem being a role model. I love it. I have kids looking up to me and hopefully I inspire these kids to do good things.
Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend?
I've always been a leader. I've always kind of been the tallest person on the team when I was younger but always kind of the smartest. I was ahead of my time. I wasn't always the oldest, I kind of was the youngest on the team, but, I kind of knew what to do at times.
