Commitment Separates Those Who Live Their Dreams

Durability Is Part Of What Makes A Great Athlete.

I Hope I Epitomize The American Dream. For I Came Against Long Odds, From The Ghetto To The Very Top Of My Profession. I Was Not Immediately Good At Basketball. It Did Not Come Easy. It Came As The Result Of A Lot Of Hard Work And Self-sacrifice. The Rewards, Where They Worth It? One Thousand Times Over.

The Morale And The Camaraderie That We Had For One Another Earlier In The Year Is Starting To Come Under Duress Because Of All The Losses. Some Of The Guys Are Feeling The Pressure Now From The Last Year When They Were Not Successful.

I Don't Have Very Many Regrets, Not Because I Lived A Perfect Life But Because Life Is A Bunch Of Rolling Hills, Not Mountains, Or Speed Bumps Instead Of Stop Signs, And So You Come To A Situation And It's Neither Good Or Bad, It Just Is, And What It Means To You Is What's Your Take On It. But The Second Part Of The Equation Is What Are You Going To Do About It. A Lot Of Times I'm Completely Wrong, But All You Do Is Back Up And Start Over.

Success Is A Result Of Consistent Practice Of Winning Skills And Actions. There Is Nothing Miraculous About The Process. There Is No Luck Involved.
