If you're trying to achieve, there will be roadblocks. I've had them; everybody has had them. But obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.

I've never lost a game I just ran out of time.

---

I've failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.

---

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

If you do the work you get rewarded. There are no shortcuts in life.

---

Don't be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

Its better to shoot and miss, then to let time run out and wonder what if

You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.

Heart is what separates the good from the great.
