Magic Johnson
Talent is never enough. With few exceptions the best players are the hardest workers.

Once Michael gets up there he says, 'Well, maybe I'll just hang up here in the air for a while, just sit back.' Then all of a sudden, he says, 'Well, maybe I'll 360. No I changed my mind. I'll go up on the other side.' He's just incredible.
Magic Johnson

If you want to be successful, you have to be willing to use every connection you’ve got.
Magic Johnson
My father was a great example of a strong and good man and Christian man, and my mother taught all my six sisters how to be young ladies and mothers and how to take care of your family. And so I think they were - they still are - great examples for all of us to their kids and to the world, too.
Magic Johnson
Even when I went to the playground, I never picked the best players. I picked guys with less talent, but who were willing to work hard and had the desire to be great.
Magic Johnson
I was around when my father finished the last payment of his house. I remember like it was yesterday. He had worked all those years to own that house and he cried. He was so excited and so happy and I want to see other people get that feeling, too.
Magic Johnson
Just celebrate the life you had, not the life you could've had.
Magic Johnson
Any guy who can maintain a positive attitude without much playing time certainly earns my respect.
