I won’t react to something just because I’m supposed to, because I’m an African-American.

I write all day and outline stories, a sports mythological universe.

It doesn't matter to me what place I get traded to. If I was traded someplace - I'd play anywhere.

You're my backbone. You're a blessing. You're a piece of my heart. You're the air I breathe. And you're the strongest person I know, and I'm so sorry for having to put you through this and having to put our family through this.

There's been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that's simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we've won when I score 10.

The Black Mamba collection of watches is me: It is my alter ego, so to speak. As I mentioned before, it is sharp, cutting edge and sleek which are characteristics I try to apply when I’m out there on the basketball court.

You have to be true to who you are.
