Leadership is something I was born with.

As a good player in the inner city, you're always hearing people saying that you're better than you really are and that you don't have to do things like everybody else.

I kind of knew Cleveland was going to get the No. 1 pick. I think they rigged it. No, don't quote me on that.

When I really like something, I try to put my all into it. This is something thats different from when I was growing up on the basketball court, running up and down, scoring 30 points or something. This is totally something different.

If I were president? First thing I'd do is take care of the schoolteachers. I'm not saying we should start 'em out with six figures, but in some places they've got to be mother, father, brother, sister, and mentor. They're real important people. Let's give 'em a raise - and attract the best people to the job.

No one is perfect. I know there is stuff that I need to work on, and not just one thing, but my game overall. Everything can get better.

Success is the result of psychologically preparing for it, prior to achieving it!
