After you have a big game, you can't just say, 'That's it, I've arrived,' by any means. I'm always pushing it to be better. You always want to be better than you are, no matter what. I think that's important.

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.

They really just taught me at an early age the values of hard work. Both my parents are two of the hardest working people that I know, so that was a big foundation for me and something I really cherish and it really helped me to grow up in that kind of household.

Energy is something you can control, in everything you do, you're going to face people more talented than you. I set myself apart by bringing more energy than they do.

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?'

The best part is if you dunk on someone at home and they show it on the replay!

Once you become complacent and once you're happy with your performance or whatever it is, I don't think you'll get better as quickly.
