Nothing Of Value Comes Without Being Earned.

I Viewed It As A Business, But I Always Viewed It As A Game. An Opportunity To Show My Skills, My Basketball Skills, Amongst The Best In The World.

I Knew Where I Wanted To Go, What Kind Of Player I Wanted To Become And I Focused On Getting There.

The Nba Is The Strongest Professional Sports League In The World. The League And The Game Is Bigger Than Any One Person, Michael Jordan Included, And They Always Will Be. I Hope That Today Players, Especially Our Young Players, Continue To Recognize That Simple Fact. Nothing Is More Important Than The Game Itself And The Fans Who Support It.

So, The Next Time You're Out Working On Your Game And They Pass You The Rock, Don't Just Take It To The Hole. Take It To The Next Level. Don't Just Bend Rims. Bend Expectations. Let Them See You And Feel You And By The Very Virtue Of Your Love, The Truth In Your Game, They Will Hear You. Let Your Game Speak.

The Reason I Became Such A Successful Athlete Was My Mind Was Saying That No Matter Who You Put Up Against Me, I Am Better, I Am The Best.
