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

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've been watching Messi for some time now, and his ability to decide games and keep possession of the ball is amazing.

If you see me in a fight with a bear, pray for the bear.

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

When you love something, you'll always come back to it. You'll always keep asking questions, and finding answers.

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.
