I spoil a lot of people with my play. If you have three bad games in a seven-year career, people are going to point that out.

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.

That's what keeps me humble because I know my background, know what my mother went through. I never get too high on my stardom or what I can do. My mom always says and my friends all say, ’You're just a very low-maintenance guy’. I don't need too much. Glamour and all that stuff don't excite me. I am just glad I have the game of basketball in my life.

People who say "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" never felt a broken heart.

I was blessed with a God-given talent and my mother raised me the right way.

I'm very good at noticing talent. I knew he was special then and obviously he is now.

I can't play the game of basketball and live my life on what other people expect me to do or what they think I should do. That doesn't make me happy. What makes me happy is being able to make plays for my teammates, to be able to represent the name on the back of my jersey.
