Be fearless. Be bold. Be Magic.

About This Quote

The motto of the Los Angeles Lakers, "Be fearless. Be bold. Be Magic," is a metaphor for the courage, strength and determination it takes to succeed in life. In basketball, there are always players afraid to make a mistake, waiting for the perfect opportunity to make a shot.

That's what is meant by being fearless. They're willing to gamble and take a big chance on the ball going in when they know that most of the time it will not. The teams that wait for a perfect shot rarely win championships.

The Lakers believe in trying every shot and playing with a lot of emotion because they also believe that you can't win on emotion alone. They won four of five championships while giving up about 30 points per game.
