I was an idiot when I was a kid.

It’s not a question of if we make the playoffs; we will. And when we get there, I have no fear of anyone.

I love going one-on-one with someone. That's what I do. I've never lost. It's a whole different game, just to have them right in front of you and be able to do whatever you want.

At the end of 2003, my game was complete. Shooting, defense, using the dribble, transition, midrange stuff was all there. Then it was about fine-tuning and trying to improve in each area.

You always have to be on edge. You always have to take every practice, every game, like it is your last.

Michael Jackson? He was something more (than one of my favorite entertainers), a true friend. He wasn't just a genius. Above all, he was a good person, who gave so much. He gave people values, he encouraged them to better themselves all the time. He was far deeper and more authentic than people could see. He was misunderstood too many times

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