I just shoot until I feel good.

Once you are labeled 'the best' you want to stay up there, and you can't do it by loafing around.

A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.

My opinion about basketball, the way I was taught, was when you step on the court, you play to win.

I always know what's happening on the court. I see a situation occur, and I respond.

In the closing seconds of every game, I want the ball in my hands for the last shot - not in anybody else's, not in anybody else's in the world.

As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me - red, yellow, black. I just didn't want a white guy guarding me, because it's disrespect to my game.
