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 was little, I asked God if I could meet my mom just one more time, and my prayer was answered in 2001. It was weird.

I want to be the best at whatever I do. I don't care who gets in the way.

I always have something going on.

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?

They gave high fives to all the players who say like the most obvious textbook answers in the world. It's like after each game, you already know what they're going to say. If they lost: "Ahh ... Tough loss." It's like, come on, how do you guys fall for that? And if they something that they really feel, everyone goes crazy. Like "Oohh! He's spazzing out!" Now he gotta say sorry for saying something he really felt. It's like, Oh lord.

When I leave the NBA, I don't want my legacy to be, 'He won a championship ring.' I want my legacy to say: 'He played for the people. He gave everybody in the world hope that they can be just like him.'
