I thought basketball was a game for women. My mother played basketball, and so did my sister.

Obviously, (winning the division) is big. To be No. 1 is always important.

I lost control of myself a couple times in the playoffs. I have to keep cooler in the future.

When I think about my MVP season, I will also think about the loss to Golden State. But winning the award as Most Valuable Player of the NBA is just a huge honour. I didn't really realise how big it was until Mark Cuban had tears in his eyes at the award ceremony.

Of course parents want their children to confide in them.

Growing up, my idols were Lucky Luke and Jolly Jumper. And Scottie Pippen.

The playoffs is all about showing heart and playing together.
