I've learned that it's harder to try to put on this goody two-shoes persona when that's not me.

There's a lot of falses - out there and if I take up for myself, it's a bad thing. Sometimes you just got to live with it, but for the most part, I'm like look, I don't want no problems with nobody.

Hopefully before I'm done, I can be on an Olympic team.

I was the second-best player in high school. I was the second pick in the draft. I've been second in the MVP voting three times. I came in second in the Finals. I'm tired of being second. I'm not going to settle for that. I'm done with it.

I know that the hard work got me here. And the day I stop working hard, this can all go away.

It's hard to play well, but it's easy to work hard.
