You just try to take it one day at a time, ... You step on the basketball floor and just play. It's fun. I'm comfortable with it.

I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success.

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.

Heroes come and go, but legends are forever.

You have to be true to who you are.

It's wonderful for the players. It's a huge challenge and a huge responsibility for us to get our act together, get our butts in gear. Phil isn't going to bail us out because of our mental lapses.

I realize now that there's a strength in dunking that I can use to my advantage. When you dunk all the time it isn't as demoralizing to the opponent, but when you dunk at a key moment in the game you can use it to change the momentum.
