I always wanted the ball in my hands with a game on the line, as I think any real competitor does.

I’ve never seen a better coach than Gregg Popovich.

I don't really want to go into my problems with the team at the time except to say that no one's ever had to pay me to play basketball.

I've seen a lot in my life. I've seen a lot of winning. I've seen a lot of testing times. I think when you're tested, you really find out what you're made of.

As you get older, every chance to win a championship is more crucial, because you are going to have less and less of them.

I was disappointed if I didn't have a chance to win a game, and if I had the chance and didn't do it.

Basketball came to me and for some reason it gave me an opportunity to live a life that I didn't dream possible. But it did let me live my dreams.
