I want to be the best in whatever I do.

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.

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.

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.

You know, that's all basketball is. If someone loves something, and you take it away, it's like what does he do now? What does someone do? That's what happened with me.

As happy as I am off the floor, on the floor I am the opposite. I don't take any crap.

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.
