I guess it's good in a sense that it stops any of it from happening, but now you're telling me if it's Game 7 of the NBA Finals and a guy has a chance to make a play he's going to be like, 'Well, do I want this $10,000 or do I want a championship?'

I'm thankful for some of bad experiences I've had. They helped me with the way I view people and see them for who they really are.

My goal is to let people see who I am as a person, not just a basketball player. Many people see athletes in a certain way - flat and one dimensional. I want to change that view.

I'm going to be working on my shot. Working on extending my range. Keep working on everything, and really studying the game.

You have to fall in love with the process of becoming great.

Sometimes you get lucky - you don't put much work in and you're successful anyway. But over the course of time, if you really want to shape your path, I think it's about the quality of the time you put in.

If you love the game and you love playing, just have fun and enjoy it. Work hard and don't get bogged down by it.
