Great things come from hard work and perseverance. No excuses.

What does perfection look like to me? Championship rings

Love me or hate me, it's one or the other. Always has been. Hate my game, my swagger. Hate my fadeaway, my hunger. Hate that I'm a veteran. A champion. Hate that. Hate it with all your heart. And hate that I'm loved, for the exact same reasons.

If they want to win right now, I'm all for it. That's all I said the whole time. If you want to wait five years, let me know. My legs aren't as young as they used to be.

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?

This is an award I couldn't have won on my own. I can't thank these guys enough. These are my guys, these are my brothers.

It's different from being 21 and you think there's endless amount of opportunities. At 33, the ending is much, much closer.
