There’s a reason why players that have multiple championships have multiple championships. There’s a certain characteristic and an understanding and knowledge and that’s not something that’s easily taught. You kind of have to go through it and it kind of has to be part of your DNA from the beginning.

Magic has five championships. I have five championships. I'm pretty sure we both know what we're doing.

It's not about the number of hours you practice, it's about the number of hours your mind is present during the practice

I'm not the most patient of people...

I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I'm like, 'My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don't have it. I just want to chill.' We all have self-doubt. You don't deny it, but you also don't capitulate to it. You embrace it.

My role is to make sure we're moving in the right direction, getting points, rebounds, steals, assists and providing leadership.

You can't be held captive by the fear of failure or the fear of what people may say.
