I know there's a lot of pressure, but I'm just going to go out and play my game.

I think people fail to realize that teams and organizations have been stacking teams since way back in the day.

It bothers me to hear people talk about things they know nothing about.

You've got to have fun on the court. If you ain't having fun, then basketball ain't fun.

The only person I ever wanted to meet was Muhammad Ali. And of all the people I've ever met, he's the one who most impressed me. It's tough to listen to him. You gotta have patience. But you see how strong his mind is. Even now, he's one of the most intelligent people on the planet.

I don't think there could ever be more pressure to succeed than the pressure I place on myself.

I say 'come with it.' I'm not expecting anything easy. You have to earn your place. That's fine with me.
