The one thing about basketball is that it continues to evolve and I love it so much. It does so much for me in my life. I've played on every level and I've been fortunate enough to be around greatness on every level.

I don't mind being a professional. As an athlete you are a role model, people are watching what you wear, listening to everything you say.

When you're not winning it's about how you're not getting it done.

I really like Rafer Alston. We get along great. We have a lot of fun times together that I can’t share with you guys.

Larry Bird is like a basketball god to me for what he's done for my career.

For me, Duke was personal. I hated Duke and I hated everything I felt Duke stood for. Schools like Duke didn’t recruit players like me. I felt like they only recruited players who were Uncle Toms.

You never get what you deserve; only what you have the leverage to negotiate.
