People say you don't need a father to be successful. I take offense to that.

Basketball has brought me a lot of joy, brought me a lot of good things. Just that side of it has really affected me.

My team in Orlando was a team full of people who nobody wanted, and I was the leader and I led that team with a smile on my face.

The hardest thing to do is to trust people. Even if you know them from way back when, it's hard to trust people. There's a lot we have to deal with, and it's the price of fame.

My job is to be the best teammate I can be, push these guys to the limit every day, make sure that I'm being the right type of leader.

You really can't please people. I know everybody's attention is on what I'm doing on the floor.

I hated that perception that I didn't work hard, that I really don't love basketball.
