You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.

I'm like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man.

This is a proud moment for our city. This is the first time we have won a Finals game in this city, and I'm happy to be part of the history.

In fourth grade, I missed 82 days of school. Out of 160.

I played football for a team called the East Dragons on the east side of town. We only had six regular season games. And six games I played tail back and I had 18 touchdowns in six games. That's when I knew I had some athletic ability.

I was so used to going out and winning state championships and playing in the postseason.

As a man, if you got a problem with somebody, you sit down face to face and you talk to them eye to eye. And you hash it out and move on.
