Once you squeeze toothpaste out, you can't put it back into the tube. The same is true with our words. Once we say something hurtful, we can't take it back

Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend?

I feel confident because I'm the best player in the world. It's that simple.

With that locker room I could sleep there after games.

But put my body through a lot, you know, but it's the price for your body feeling this way for winning. Did I win? I didn't win a championship, but I've done a lot of good things in this first year back, and hopefully I can continue it.

But I mean, even my family gets spoiled at times watching me doing things that I do, on and off the court.

I've sort of gotten into the habit of looking for the vulnerable guy, the guy who makes mistakes, the guy who can't figure things out all the time but keeps at it.
