We aren't comfortable. We are not satisfied. We have to stay even-keeled.

Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.

There are some teams and logos you see, no matter where you are in the world, and you know exactly who they are and what they mean.

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like a man beholding his natural face in a glass: for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightaway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

When I was 5, some financial things happened, and I moved seven times in a year. We moved from apartment to apartment, sometimes living with friends. My mom would always say, 'Don't get comfortable, because we may not be here long.'

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

I've been watching basketball for a long time, I'm a historian of the game. I don't know any other team that's gotten to the Finals without two All-Stars... I cannot remember thinking of it. I don't even know if it's ever happened, for a team to lose two All-Stars and still be able to make it to the Finals.
