Doesn't matter where you come from, what you have or don't have... All you need to have is faith in God, an undying passion for what you do and what you choose to do in this life, and a relentless drive and the will to do whatever it takes to be successful in whatever you put your mind to.
Success is not an accident, success is actually a choice.
If you don't fall how are you going to know what getting up is like.
There's more to me than just this jersey I wear, and that's Christ living inside of me.
Success is born out of faith, an undying passion, and a relentless drive.
Everything happens for a reason, and everything has a story, and if you take time to realise what your dream is and what you really want in life... whether it's sports, whether it's in other fields, you have to realise that there's always work to do.
Basketball isn't just a sport. It is an art, one that must be mastered to succeed.
Success comes after you conquer your biggest obstacles and hurdles.
What I tell people is be the best version of yourself in anything that you do. You don't have to live anybody else's story.
Each game is an opportunity to be on a great stage and be a witness for Christ. When I step on the floor, people should know who I represent, who I believe in.
It represents a Bible verse I wear on my shoe. Philippians 4:13. It says 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.' It's also my mantra, how I get up for games and why I play the way I do.
Every time I rise up, I have confidence that I'm going to make it.
I'm not the guy who's afraid of failure. I like to take risks, take the big shot and all that.
If you take time to realize what your dream is and what you really want in life, no matter what it is, whether it's sports or in other fields, you have to realize that there is always work to do, and you want to be the hardest working person in whatever you do, and you put yourself in a position to be successful. And you have to have a passion about what you do.
I love that basketball gives me the opportunities to do good things for people and to point them towards the Man who died for our sins on the cross.
On the court, I'm not afraid of anything. I try to have confidence and have a belief in myself.
I prepare to the point where instinct take over.
No better blessing than the responsibility of fatherhood.
I know I have a place in Heaven waiting for me because of Him, and that's something no earthly prize or trophy could ever top.
I've never been afraid of big moments. I get butterflies.. I get nervous and anxious, but I think those are all good signs that I'm ready for the moment.
Think very carefully about what you want in life. Reckon with the risks.
The best shooters shoot the exact same way every single time they look at the basket.
You don't have to live anybody else's story.
Every step of the way I think you learn something that makes you a better player, and all those lessons really come out when it matters the most in a championship.
I do a little sign on the court every time i make a shot or a good pass and i pound my chest and point to the sky - it symbolizes that i have a heart for God. It’s something that my mom and I came up with in college and I do it every time I step on the floor as a reminder of who i’m playing for.
