My idol, Gary Payton, played 19 years. I definitely want to try to reach that.

Im not impressed by anything the Miami Heat does.

I am always playing hard trying to win. Just knowing that at one time I was once that kid that looked up to NBA players and NFL players. Today these kids look up me.

You've got to love the game and the game will love you back.

To be one of the special ones, you've got to want to take that shot-you've also got to be willing to fail, learn from it, come back and take that shot again.

My mission is to kill; whether it's the Heat, whether it's the Lakers. Hopefully both. That's my mission, and that's what I'm here to do.

In high school, I was just a guy who ran the court and played defense. Now I have the whole package.
