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

I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.

Everything is sore right now. Everything. I look like I'm doing okay but I can't wait to get home.

You can't let nobody run your train.

I just do what I got to do and go out and be myself, on and off the court, and take care of my obligations. That's generally your own destiny-knowing what you have to take care of.

You lose in the Finals, they're all disappointing. Doesn't matter if I'm playing in Miami, Cleveland or on Mars. You lose the Finals, it's disappointing.

That's one of my biggest obstacles. I'm afraid of failure. I want to succeed so bad that I become afraid of failing.
