Because we're old as sh*t. What do you want?

Everyting negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.

Winning takes precedence over all. There's no gray area. No almosts.

To be honest with you, I (would) much rather play basketball and not be famous.

The most important thing, the thing that unites all of us, is that we can INSPIRE and CHALLENGE one another TO BE BETTER.

I didn't expect this award [the 2008 MVP] would come to me. I'm surprised. I've played pretty well in other seasons. Our team hasn't been as good. Things just fell into place.

I had some shots that I felt like I should've made; I just didn't make them. I'm not going to shoot the ball great every night.
