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

Thank god, I'm not from this world.

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

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.

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

Dropkick Murphys get me going, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nirvana... plus, all the regular hip-hop stuff.

I've got four dogs, and I just don't do dog doo. I'm a diva when it comes to that.
