Once you open your eyes and start looking around you, you start picking up things that are very obvious.

You have to rely on others to have success as a group.

I don't just try to score. The challenge is elevating my teammates to be able to win a championship.

The party's just getting started. This is where the fun starts.

The motivation for me is just the game itself, just playing the game the right way and trying to win, compete every time I step out there on the floor. That's motivation enough for me to go out there and play well.

It never bothered me when people would say, 'You only win championships because you're playing with Shaq.' It bothered me when he said it.

It's hard for me to grasp the concept of somebody being nervous when I'm talking to them.
