My favorite quote of his is "I like criticism. It makes me stronger." That means no matter what people say dont let it make you suffer let it make you stronger and succeed. My second favorite is "Don't be afraid of failure. This is the way to succeed." He is say no matter what people think is right for you, you do what you want and don't let people tell you different. The three'd one is "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." That means do what you want to do don't let any one stop you. Another one is "I'm not going to disappoint anybody." That mean's he is not trying to impress people he is playing to have fun he is playing to impress his self. "Ask me i'll play. Ask me i'll shoot. Ask me i'll pass. It's not what you ask of me. It's what I ask of my self." He is saying that he is not going to do what you want him to do just to impress everybody he is going to do what makes him a better basketball player.
