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

I've been watching Messi for some time now, and his ability to decide games and keep possession of the ball is amazing.

You have to be true to who you are.

I was shooting 45 times a game. What was I supposed to do? Pass it into Chris Mihm & Kwame Brown?

There's a difference [between taking a charge and flopping]. We all know what flopping is when we see it. The stuff that you see is where guys aren't really getting hit at all and are just flailing around like a fish out of water. That's kind of like, where are your balls at?

If there were camera phones back in the day, the biggest athletes in the world would have had a lot of explaining to do.

I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.
