Everybody wants to talk about NBA players being selfish and arrogant and individuals. But what you saw today was a team bonding and facing adversity and coming out with a big win.

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

I'm more than comfortable just sitting back and scoring 21, 22 points or whatever and getting 10, 11 assists whatever the case might be. More than comfortable with that. It's just a matter of the pieces that you have around you and what you can do to elevate everybody else.

I think that game is a testament to what happens when you put no ceiling to what you're capable of 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.

I'm reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose.

I'm playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition-that's what I've always wanted.
