There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don't put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.

I was supposed to take the ball out. I told coach, 'There's no way I'm taking the ball out, unless I can shoot it over the backboard and it goes in. I told him, 'Have somebody else take the ball out, give me the ball, and everybody get out of the way.'

Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.

As a kid, we would drive up and down 77 North - that's our highway - there would be office buildings on the side of the highway and I'd be like, that's what my house is going to look like when I get older. I'm going to start making my house look like this.

Why should I care? I have all the money in the world.

Sometimes the coaches tell me to be selfish, but my game won't let me be selfish.

The best thing that ever happened to me was losing last year in the Finals. I had to change.
