If it's controversy out there, or if it's some false stories out there, I want to clear it up. That's just what I'm all about.

Experience is the best teacher. I've been through a lot - going to the Olympics, going to the Finals, having a lot of good games and having a lot of bad games. It's a rollercoaster ride and I'm just happy I'm a part of it. If it was easy, then everybody could do it.

Every memory I have from when I was a kid involves basketball.

It's easier for me if I'm just open and transparent to a point.

It's not always like I'm right, and you're wrong. It's both ways.

I'm going to be real as hell and show you who I am, because I want the kids to see who I really am and the basketball players to see who I really am, and that's all that matters to me.

I'm busy working on every aspect of my game - defense, shooting, rebounding - but I really want to become a better overall team player. Help my teammates become better players out on the court in order to win more ball games.
