Now that I've got the will of the people at my back, I'm going to start enforcing the one-question rule. That was three questions.
Do I need my number retired throughout the course of the league to acknowledge what I've done? No.
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.
I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.

" That was a great idea. I rather liked him for that. I don't know if it's actually true or not.
