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

I was the bridge between the Michael Jordan era and LeBron James era.

I always wanted to be a Sixer. My dad was a Sixers' fan. I never wanted to leave. I wanted to start my career in Philly and finish it here.

I'd rather have more heart than talent any day.

When you get to that level, it's not a matter of talent anymore - because all the players are so talented - it's about preparation, about playing smart and making good decisions. If I don't believe it, then they don't need me on the court. I've just got to believe that in my heart.

I just try to look into the mirror, and work on the things that I wasn't doing, and I made a promise to myself that after the season, I will look at the same mirror, and say that you did everything you could

People think that I'm some tough renegade, black-hearted being, evil, but that ain't me.
