There's been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that's simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we've won when I score 10.

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

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

Are you willing to push the right buttons even if it means being perceived as the villain? … I'd rather be perceived as a winner than a good teammate. I wish they both went hand in hand all the time but that's just not reality. … I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success.

Once you open your eyes and start looking around you, you start picking up things that are very obvious.

If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail.

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they've taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.
