Basketball has been my life and I worked at it so hard because I enjoyed it so much.

I wasn't real quick, and I wasn't real strong. Some guys will just take off and it's like, whoa. So I beat them with my mind and my fundamentals.

When I was young, I never wanted to leave the court until I got things exactly correct. My dream was to become a pro.

The best players will play. That's the way it will always be.

The nature of competition is such that any number of people invariably have their eyes on the same prize you do. Recognize your assets and employ them to the best of your ability.

It makes me sick when I see a guy just stare at a loose ball and watch it go out of bounds.

It's been a journey, the NBA. It's taken me a lot farther than I ever expected.
