5. “I can accept failure. Everyone fails at something. But I can’t accept not trying.”
4. “I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot. When you think about the consequences, you always think of a negative result.”
3. “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.”
2. “My body could stand the crutches but my mind couldn’t stand the sideline.”
1. “I’ve missed more than 9,000 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.”
