Don't think for one min that I haven't been taking mental notes of everyone taking shots at me this summer. And I mean everyone!

I'm very, very confident in my ability to see the game - even before it's played.

I like criticism. It makes you strong.

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.

That team across the way, you tip your hat to them. They did a great job. It showed in these Finals.

Losing a basketball game hurts but when you see what you've been through, you look on it and say well if this is the worst thing that can happen to me, then I'm okay.

I don't know any other other team that got to the finals without two all stars.
