The thing with NBA teams, a lot of times they just want to get you back on the floor to play, so as a player you've got to be very, very smart.

I guess if you're a normal person and all of a sudden you're getting $10 million a year, it can go to your head.

I've had two unlucky injuries that are the equivalent of walking under 1,000 ladders and seeing 1,000 black cats.

These days, to be seven years in one spot in any pro sport is a pretty long tenure.

I think Chris Paul is a great player. He is very unselfish and plays very hard, so he would be a guy if he plays. I think his hand is still questionable, though. I hear they are talking about resting him that weekend. I'm excited to play with all the guys. Marvin Williams is starting to play well, and Salim Stoudamire, I think he should be there.

I'm not going to put my energy into dunking every time I get the ball. That's stupid.

You can't really get into regular football after you watch Australian rules football because it's just two different ends of the totem pole.
