God chose Memphis as the place that I will continue my career.

I am the MVP and I gotta worry about the trade talk.

We got to stop people. We go ahead and we score 100 points every night, but we give up more. Our whole thing was, we know we can score, and we have to start having some kind of fun on the defensive end. Everybody want to play offense. Not too many people want to play defense. Defense is ego, pride, and that's the way we've been coming out, just taking the challenge. Man-on-man first, and having each other's back when a guy gets beat.

Mistakes happen. But after a while you've got to stop making them happen twice.

Man, people have been waiting for me to fall off my whole career. From the first time I stepped on the court. It probably made people sick to their stomachs watching my whole career, watching the things that I've done in my career.

There's nothing less than that. I don't care about just going to the playoffs; I've been to the playoffs before.

I wasn't a bad guy. I just wanted God to give me a second chance.
