You have to do everything to help your team out. I have the ability to rebound, so I might as well go and do it to help my team win.

If you take away the last few years, from my last year in Washington, and you think about my career, there was nothing but hard work. I was in the gym three or four times a day, working on my skills. If we lost a game, and I thought I played bad, I'm staying in the gym to keep shooting. That's what I did. That's what I was known for: I was a gym rat.

This sport is just crazy. Your worst enemy in college is your teammate and friend when you get to the NBA. Who would have thought it?

My swag was phenomenal.

When you're in that zone there's nothing really the defense can do ... It doesn't matter who's sticking you because everything looks good.

When I hear about people murdering, I wonder, 'What has to go through your brain to say, I don't want him breathing anymore? What makes you get that angry? How can you take someone's breath away? That just blows my mind.'

It sucks the way the world works. You can do a hundred things for people, but you do one bad mistake and everyone crucifies you and that's all they want to remember.
