I wouldn't like to make anybody cry, I don't dislike anybody. It doesn't even matter - the opponent is always faceless.

I learned very quickly that the NBA is a very rough place, physically and mentally. There's no mercy.

I've modeled my game after Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.

I hate to lose. When I was a kid, I used to cry every time I lost a game, up until, like, the 8th grade. I used to go ballistic.

The stereotype of a leader is one who talks and peps people up and things like that, but in actuality you have to listen to your teammates.

You can't be afraid to get back up and try again, and you really can't do that unless you acknowledge the failure.

You can't worry about what people say, but... People always harp on athletes being selfish individualists.
