20. These young guys are playing checkers. I'm out there playing chess.

當其他年輕人都在下西洋跳棋時,我已在下西洋棋了。

21. My parents are my backbone. Still are. They're the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.

我的父母是我的支柱,現在仍然如此。他們是唯一一群,無論你得到0分還是40分,都會支持你的人。

22. If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail.

如果你害怕失敗,那你就有可能會失敗。

23. The most important thing is you must put everybody on notice that you're here and you are for real. I'm not a player that is just going to come and go. I'm not a player that is going to make an All-Star team one time, two times. I'm here to be an all-time great. Once I made that commitment and said, 'I want to be one of the greatest ever', then the game became everything for me.

最重要的是,你必須讓身邊每一個人知道你是玩真的。我不是一個只是在這裡來來去去的球員,我不是一個只會入選全明星賽一兩次而已的球員,我來這裡,是要成為一個能夠跨時代的偉大球星,一旦我做了承諾,說「我想成為有史以來最偉大的」,那麼比賽就成為了我的一切。

24. There's a choice that we have to make as people, as individuals. If you want to be great at something, there's a choice you have to make. We all can be masters at our craft, but you have to make a choice. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that. Family time, hanging out with friends, being a great friend, being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be. There are sacrifices that come along with making that decision.

人生中有很多我們要選擇的事。如果你想精通某件事情,你必須做出選擇。我們都可以在我們的領域成為大師,但你必須做出選擇。我的意思是每一個我們的決定都會伴隨著犧牲。和家人相處、和朋友出去玩,當一個好朋友,一個好兒子、侄子,或者其他的情況。這些決定會伴隨著其他事情的犧牲。

25. Are you willing to push the right buttons even if it means being perceived as the villain? … I'd rather be perceived as a winner than a good teammate. I wish they both went hand in hand all the time but that's just not reality. … I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success.

即使會被眾人當成惡棍,你還會做對的決定嗎?我寧願被認為是一個贏家,而非一個好隊友。我希望能同時兼顧兩者,但是這是不實際的…. 我和那些懶惰的人 — 那些只會將自己沒有成功的原因怪罪於他人的人— 並沒有任何共同點。
