I'm like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. If I'm not ready, the sled isn't going to go.

The last couple of practices, all we've been doing is a lot of defensive things. We've been going over some drills that make all of us have to communicate.

I have a problem sometimes with being too hyper.

This ain't the Girl Scouts. This ain't the Boy Scouts. This is the NBA.

In my walks of life, I've understood that it takes more than one person to think of achieving a goal, and it takes more than one or two players, to get you out of the position you're in.

I'm not a star, man. If a guy came in here and shot you and shot me, we'd both be two dead people. You understand?

I've never been an individual guy. I never cared about the accolades. I've always been driven by the competition and the learning process.
