I can do something physically the other guy can't. I know the other guy has not dedicated himself the way I did.

If I got something to say or do to a man, I'm going to look that man in the eye and tell him what is going to happen. That's just me now

I realize that things happen for a reason

To catch the ball, face up, look at all of my options and then pass. I was playing hot potato. I didn't want to be the guy to stall the triangle.

I don't know what my label is. I just think of myself as a plain forward. I like to think I have some finesse to my game, but inside the paint is where men are made. If you can't play there, you should be home with your mama.

When we play the game like we're supposed to play it, it is pretty easy. Making the extra pass, making the simple play, it's not about between your legs, behind your back, and all of that, it's just about scoring the bucket.

It takes people a while to trust you.
