I'm still trying to be a kid. I really don't want to feel like an adult.

Most kids would be like, 'My dad's never around.' But I saw it as a positive. He was out there working to provide for me.

As a player leaving early, you always look back and wonder what could have been. But you have to be happy with your decisions, because you ultimately have to live with them.

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.

If your heart is bigger than the biggest guy on the team, then you're the biggest guy on the team.

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.

I try not to do the fantasy thing. If I didn't get hurt, what would I be? Who knows? When I look back on my career, from the hard work I put in, I got everything I deserved.
