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!

A lot of people were saying that I was a selfish person and a selfish player. You know, it got to me.

Once you become a professional athlete or once you do anything well, then you're automatically a role model ... I have no problem being a role model. I love it. I have kids looking up to me and hopefully I inspire these kids to do good things.

It all depends on how you want to define what an MVP is. I've been fortunate to win the trophy four times, but I've been the MVP of my team for a long time - just because of the way I lead and the way I approach us being professionals off the floor.

I might play in shorts, but I wear the pants.

I have a responsibility to lead, in more ways than one, and I take that very seriously.

I like to get out and get up the court, using my speed and aggressiveness toward the hoop.
