It's a luxury to play. I get to play basketball for a living. I'm a lucky guy and I'm thankful for everything I have and what I get to do. I realize how many people would give their left foot to just play one game in the NBA. This is the NBA!

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.

I havent won on my birthday since college, so its good to play hard and get a win by double figures.

Everyone talks about success, but what happens before? There's always something you have to overcome.

To be honest, politics is so weird. I think it's more heavy than religion.

If you want to be successful, you are going to have to deal with pressure.

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