This video was produced by me on Nov. 9, 2012.
The highlights used in this video came from the last two NBA seasons and this preseason training camp. When I came up with an idea of making such a video as this one I first had some doubts because there were so many motivational videos around the YT so I thought that I didn't want to make 'just another one'. On the other hand I really wanted to mix it and so I thought to myself 'I'll do it no matter what and I couldn't care less how many other motivational videos were there uploaded, my video is going to be special regardless of anything because I owe myself at least this much'.

1. You still gotta sleep
2. Work hard while being thankful for what you have
3. You gotta love what you do, or else you will just feel pain
4. When you fail, stay positive, work harder and believe that you will succeed.
+Hong Brian Thank you good person
I remember when I used to replay this video over and over again before I went to bed
"the most important thing is to be able to sacrifice what you are for what you will become" 0:40 - 0:45
Im A Greek NCAA basketball player . I have been playin' basketball in since the age of 7 and now im 19 . I am playing for Kentucky now . I was not that good until one day i saw this video and changed my life... From one of the worst players in my old team called ''B.A.C.'' ... I did Hard work and got myself int the NCAA i Watch this video right before practice everyday and keep remembering this speech while im playing. This video totally changed my entire life .
What's my excuse? The fact that I can't handle the ball very well. That WAS my excuse. With dedication and hard work, I am now able to escape most defenders with very few moves. No excuses.
Watching this makes me wanna go to the gym and workout. I'll be going first thing in the morning.
I'll put it this way for you. There's nothing wrong about being passionate about something whether it's sports or computers. Do you want to be a basketball player? Make practice one of your top priorities and put effort in it. Do you wanna chase some pro-gaming career? Go ahead, make it one of your top priorities but forget about becoming an athlete: you simply can't do both because our time is limited to 24 hrs/day. Ask yourself, what do YOU want, not what everyone else tells you to.
Jay, motivation comes within. Nothing we can say, nothing we can do can motivate you. You play basketball because its a passion. If you love it you will find a way to play, if you don't you will make excuses. Don't come to TH-cam searching for motivation. I didn't play any of my highschool sports and now I am playing for Miami Oxford's regional Campus being looked at for D1 basketball. I had practice yesterday and I thought I had been working hard. They wore me out. I feel sick right now but I
My excuse does not matter. My excuse stops now.
Amen
Amen
i was really worried about my exams saw this video got so positive feeling thankyou who ever made it
Best motivation when waking up at 5am to get some studying in before work. Thank you!
This is not just a motivation fur ballers. It's more a motivation for your hole life.
I wasn't very good at basketball when I was young. Now all of a sudden my basketball skills got better. I could shoot the ball properly, backwards layups and left handed layups. And I am still 13 so if I want to get better on what I enjoy playing, I must work hard and train hard to be good as Lin, Drose, or Nash. I must use those years my life to hone my skills and to be able to be one of the best basketball players in the NBA.
Ur gonna see me too back of my jersey 42 name patel se u their belive in me believe in me ;)
I will and you will see me in a random number :P
I'll meet you there.
See you there O Bro.
Same... I remember when I was 10 I couldn't dribble or shoot... Now I'm 14 can hit 3 pointers in a game and cross my defenders up... It's all about practice and dedication. I wanted to get better because I loved basketball so much
You work harder than your competition. You will win. If you don't, you didn't work hard enough.
This actually made me cry while watching.. Made me remember the reasons why I am trying my best to improve myself in basketball. Most times, they don't pick me to play with them on the court because I'm slow, can't jump, no shooting touch but I didn't care. I watch them play and when they all leave, I practice on my own hoping the next time they see me in the near future, they will recognize how much my abilities have grown.
Outwork the competition. You see those roster spots you want? outwork the ppl who want it too. Victory goes to the man who isn't willing to surrender so keep working at it!
It's not about how good you are, it's about how good you want to be.
You're welcome. Believe in yourself and keep on fighting no matter what. Even if noone else believes in you, you must still believe in yourself and that's something to start with. Eventually you'll see good things starting to happen to you, just don't give up. Just don't.
It's not like this or that way of achieving it is universal and works for everyone. Some need a push, some need to split their bigger goals into components, some just need to start believing. You'll figure your one, I'm sure.
Whats my excuse????? I dont have one, i am 4'11" in middle school, i played basketball for 2 hrs everyday for 7 months straight. I tried out for basketball and got cut what did i get from that? MOTIVATION i fail harder all of u learn something and in 8 years look for a guy on the nba named Anthony Hammond thats me and no matter how short i am im showing all of u what hard work can do
You aren't gettin in the nba. Sorry my dude, it's not going to happen
***** he can if he want to bitvh
Come on mate you're setting your limits too high. First try and make your team you got cut from and then aim for a scholarship into college. Otherwise good luck
elijah robertson Why discourage this dude? Even if he fails....he will be a lot further than if he didnt believe. He's playing ball for 2 hours a day. What would he do differently if he was just concerned with making just the local team. Its obvious that his lofty dreams are pushing him to go harder than most ever would.
Prove the haters wrong dude....GET yourself a strong WHY (hopefully Jesus Christ) and never quit!!!!
I watched this video when i was in the 7th grade when I realize I would not be an NBA player because of my weight and height. I weighed 218 pounds and i was 5"3 in the 7th grade. But i kept watching the video and used it as motivation. I listened to what he said and I realized sleep is for people who are broke My family was struggling because of my health problems. So i worked harder than I ever did in my life. Later on that year i was realizing i was losing too much but it help me and my family
this is going to help me fuel my efforts to make the basketball team next year
So many motivational videos talk about sacrificing sleep, or dying in the pursuit of success. I don't think it's worth it. You don't get to enjoy or reach that success when health fails you. Speaking from my own experience, I spent so much time trying to attain my goals and when I finally got it I realised people so often become fixated on their target that they forget to fully appreciate the process. You live your life clamouring so much for success that you have not lived at all.
Fantastic. Please create some more of these videos, particularly loved the Will Smith quotes.
This is what I needed, because I have been struggling to get my business off the ground, and had to deal with many rejections, when I shared it with people. I realize that I have to face the fear of being shy, and going to talk to people about the business I'm in, and how it can help the people who I talk to. Also, I'm learning to not take rejection personal, it's part of success, and the story goes that you learn from your mistakes, so you can prepare to be successful.
It doesn't matter if anyone else in the whole wide world cared about that sports. What really matters is the fact the he himself cares about it. That's the whole point of being motivated to do something, when regardless of what others do or say you just go out there and give your best and put in as much effort as you possibly can.
That was my message to that guy. Just move forward no matter what regardless of support and appreciation of the outside. The greatness from within concept, feel me?
Don't listen to others! Do what makes you happy, good luck.
keep practicing.
It doesn't matter even if you feel like you're not making progress. Success come after hours and hours of beating the crap out of your self man. I felt the same way before, and that's why i got better.
Thank you! It's been my pleasure to present this video.
I wish you all the luck you can probably get in achieving your ultimate goal!
You're damn right on using that summer time to improve and to return in your best shape when fall comes. Just don't forget to rest properly and let your body recover in order to prevent any possible injuries which I wish never happen to you :)
Train hard, eat well and healthy, rest properly, stay focused and dedicated to your dream and you'll get to where you'd like to be at.
From what I've learned about this thing called the 'life' was the fact that no so many chaps out there gonna encourage you down your road to accomplishing your dream.
What makes one happy about his dream is he himself who chases it, he who works hard, he who doesn't stop until he's there. It's always been and always will be a man and his dream. Every time I step on that court I'm the happiest guy on Earth regardless if there's anyone around. Even when I'm old and grey I'll still love the game.
Never give up.. if you give up, that means you let someone to win.
Seriously,this make me cry..thumbs up for u man
man watching motivational videos gives me motivation only problem i keep watching them and havent gone to do anything yet lol
''What you can't teach is heart, you teach it yourself''.
i love all the negative comments because that just means one less person i have to go over to get to my own goal
Man this video hit me hard. Im in tears knowing i most likeley wont be able to play for my highschool team this year because i have a grade 3 sprain in my ankle and tryouts are in 2 weeks. Guess my senior Year will be my breakout season, all the work im going to put in man i won't be stopped.
Great video man, you people gotta remember to never give up because if you give up you wont know how close you were from achieving your goal.
Hard work beats talent any day, and a combination of hard work and talent beats everything else.
Tell you this, you don't have to quit school just to practice all day. School is as important as sports. It's like choosing what's more important, your lungs or your heart, ofc you need them all. Same here.
You just have to plan your free time in a way that will allow you to practice and still maintain decent grades, even if that means quitting on videogaming, parties, TV, etc, you name it.
You're welcome ;)
Wish you GL with your exams. If you can get yourself relaxed I'm sure you'll easily pass them, no need to worry.
Just made the starting lineup of my school team, choked big time in front of my parents in the first game. Practiced until 12 in the gym, lifted, shot, everything. This video helped me so much, thanks man.
This video gives me shivers when i watch it, i'm pushing my body to the limits now, after 2 years without training bball ... i'm gonna show u how great am!!!
The key to success is wanting it badly.
Not the success itself is what drives you but your willpower and your desire to achieve it. So to make it short and simple, you have to set your goals, figure out your way to achieve them and stick with your plan. But you have to want it very bad, metaphorically as bad as you want to breathe.
You may also find helpful splitting your ultimate goal into components. Write them down and place them on the wall so you can keep track and go for one at a time.
"Hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard"
-Kevin Durant
155 and 6'4...skinny- this summer i put up 9hours a day getting better. I stoped chilling with my friends ; to work on my skills and get better. I work out and eat alot but its in my genes to stay skinny. Last year every thing i heard was if i was his height i would be dunking from anywhere or in the nba by now. But these people are naturally tallented unlike me who was born with no talent and had to work hard for where i am today. This video pushes me to get better and this season is showtime!!
I watch this video before EVERY single one of my soccer practices it gets me PUMPED UP AND READY TO GO thank you for this video!
I used to get so scared when I play basketball with my friends because they laugh at me but now I don't because this video helped me play.
My pleasure!
Dream big, work hard and eventually great things surely will happen to you and your life. As the matter of fact, it all comes down to a choice, whether we become successful and make our dreams come true or not.
So I say, let us all choose what we really want and not let our fears get the best of us, because at the end of the day "limits like fears are often just an illusion" (MJ quote).
Best of luck, mate! Hodně štěstí :)
This changed my life.
Just found this one. I like this. Listen to it all the time now.
you're the type of person that really brings a little faith in humanity back to me. Thank you for this video, keep it up. Hard Work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
its amazing because every word that comes from this video is Me. because id always sacrifices everything just to be great.. imagine.. i came out from school in 9:30 pm and sleep for about 4 hours and wake up for 2am and start playing basketball until world reaches sunrise.. :D
Makes me whanna be the best there will ever be
Pain is temporary ... victory is forever!!! as well as a loss, keep that in mind
lol bro you really killed that speech with "quited" at the end.
That treadmill line was powerful.
Dude you have lived,living is chasing what you love be it a girl,goal,or anything else once you meet what you want you have lived. Some people gain happiness through chasing their goal. If you gave up on your goal because of your health,it's because YOU didn't love it or wanted to chase it. But people like me who don't care if we die doing what we love will always be out there trying our hardest even when the odds are against us.
I was slacking off while studying chemistry and started watching nba videos. I ended off watching this video. Needless to say, I went right back to the boo... HELL NAH ! I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE GYM
Thanks, great motivation, I will strive to be the best. Next year I'm going all out, they're gonna be suprised, gonna make them regret cutting me off.
I'm glad that you liked it :)
I was slacking off while studying chemistry and stated watching nba videos. I ended off watching this video. Needless to say, I went right back to the books! Thanks man, awesome video!
When I was practising basketball one time. I was exhausted, I played for 4 hours straight. But I decided to take the extra mile and practise longer. Because of that a coach of a basketball team came up to me and ask if I wanted to join the team. To good to be real right? But this is actually true. Hard work pays off.
This video just saved my life thank you
now that is some motivation and i thank you for that i really needed that
I have so much innovation for this world to see !!!
iDesignatua special thanks to you.
Man .. I appreciate you made this video.
Before every match ,every training.
I look at this video... and it motivate me to much .. thanks.
My dream is be in NBA.
I doing everything to improve myself.
Thank you :)
Starting my freshman year of football next year and summers right around the corner, while other kids are playing getting wet (etc.) imma be training in the gym and playing pick up football games. 7 days a week!, until training camp. my goal is the nfl and i aint gonna stop til it happened's! I'm Gonna Watch This Before every game and just listen,listen,and listen!
This is a very well-produced video. I watch it when I am feeling depressed and frustrated doing my work or work out. It can really cheer me up and fortify my resolution when facing difficulities. Thank you very much for making this video. You are really talking about the reality. I hope this video can be widely forwarded out and people who watch the video can take the advantage and get inspired.
I'm a 5'5 16 year old from Pennsylvania with no experience on a team and I started playing 8th grade summer. I'm now a junior on high school and I work as hard as I can to get to my goals. I was never taken seriously on a court till this year. You might be more talented but you will NEVER out work me
Yes I will.
+Israel Torres I feel your pain! 5'4 point guard ...
I will destroy you on the court.
This Video gets me up and going everyday
I come to watch this video every second day when i feel low or do something bad I regret i say sorry to GOD and always say I'm going to start a new day from now onwards...
BUT THIS IS ACTUALLY GONNA BE A NEW BEGINNING NO LIES NO CHEATING WITH MASELF.
THATS iDesignatua I DONT KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT GREAT ENOUGH!
THANKS
NEW LIFE WITH FULL SPIRIT AND HARDWORD...!
IF YOU DREAM IT YOU CAN ACHIEVE IT! :D
-Jai Hind
This video is special. @iDesignatua to me this video is not just another. This is the best motivation video I have seen so far.
What is my excuse? I'm 5'7, 15, haven't been on a team but my love for the sport is true. I'm going to train all day everyday till tryouts sophomore year. If I don't make it.... That just means I have to work harder
Amazing, especially for someone that plays basketball such as me.
Keep working at it man, it may seem so far away but who knows? With hard work, dedication, and perseverance youll make it.
Very beautifully done. Very inspirational. Thank you
What is my excuse? H mm I'm 5ft 7in and I'm 17 years old..pretty much a handicap for college basketball for me. I WAS discouraged until I watched this video.
thank you for this video, i watch it every day :) please make another basketball motivational video
Best mix i've seen, great work
Congratulations man...Best NBA video compilation ;)
Best motivation video I've ever seen...
Thank you very much ;)
man i wanna thank you this video is, just amazing i cant say more words, JUST AMAZING thank you, insprational
Never back or give up something u love
You're welcome, mate! It's indeed music to my ears to hear that. I mean, if through this video I succeed in helping out yourself along with many others in terms of motivating and giving that slight extra push towards one's goals and dreams, I'm the happy guy because that would've meant I myself succeeded in reaching my own goal. It's like a win-win situation for both parties and to me that's the beauty of it, that's what drives me.
this was so beautiful, holy...
You're welcome :)
That's the attitude that everyone needs to succeed, 100% is never enough!
The purpose of this video was to give that extra push that so many people need in order to get motivated and succeed. Lots of chaps out there need that extra motivation, how can it be stupid? It's life, it is what it is.
It's good for you that you don't need that extra motivation but that doesn't give you any right to boast about it to make others who are less disciplined/motivated than you are feel bad about themselves.
Just my opinion.
Remember me?The freshman in highschool who said he's gonna train through the summer,well that's me? and when i said imma listen to this before every game? well hear i am and its friday night in texas and you know football in texas is big so the only thing to do is turn up! and i don't got school til 9 o clock it's 6 a.m because "While Others are sleeping im working!""You gotta be willing to give up sleep".Everybody can you please wish me luck tonight!Tonight is the start of a long future for me.
If I was you I'd put it this way. You work to improve your skills daily. You wake up and do you feel you're not there yet? But you've accomplished something the day before, remember? That means you're a little closer to your dream.
You can start a new day with a thought that it's your new... zero point. You go to work and by the end of the day you should definitely know that you've accomplished something since you've worked on your skills that day.
Day by day, one step at a time.
I luv this video. I really apprieciate it. Those comments in the video are not just for motivation jin
I feel for you, mate. But you know, those issues just test our character.
During my playing days I've severely rolled my right ankle three times, I've broken my arm and it never stopped me. I just recovered and moved one. I had to call it a career when I've had a knee injury and couldn't run and jump even half as fast and high as before, but I still play at some pick up games. I love the game so much that I'm done playing only when I can't hold the ball in my hands anymore, it's when I'm dead.
probably the best vid i've ever seen! my favourite part is when he says " to be able to sacrifice what you are for what you will become" and lebron walks in perfect timing. This vid doesn't motivate me athletic-wise but academic- and relationship-wise i thank you for your effort
You're welcome.
If YT would've shown more of that box instead of just two first lines it would've been much more convenient so we all know whom to blame :)
Great video watch it during every challenge I face
Great video, I'm glad you made it, motivated me, needs more views. Just think someone or multiple will watch this be motivated and become the greatest ever at their craft, because of you man.
If you want to be successful on or off the court, you need to work hard, work smart, and work consistently. 2 out of 3 won't cut it, you need to do all 3 to reach your potential
Thank you iDesignatua you have a big heart
My excuse is that I am 5'8 living in a non basketball area attending a crappy basketball school
nate robinson is 5ft 8 plus you don't have it bad my school in england try to stop basketball every year and we have to fight to play it
Your lucky better be grateful cause people have it worst like me. The high school coach recruits all over Toronto and form a team did I mention there's no tryouts right now I'm working hard and trying to get opportunities come my way
pretty much as me. even though im 5'10
Best motivational video out there
thx man i watched this 3 months ago and now i start on my school baskeball team even tho i learned to dribble between my legs a year ago
You know what man, even though I don't play basketball I can appreciate what you want to do for people with this video and i believe you have done that for me after I watched this video. This video for me is a go to video when ever I need some extra motivation.
And i am getting my PhD in Physics,Medicine and Law while at the same time i am training for the Special Forces.
And it is the most relax period of my life.
