Maybe my pain was my motivation.

You have to be able to accept failure to get better.

There is no room for Donald Sterling in our league - there is no room for him.

There's no reason to play in the NBA if you don't believe you can win it all.

I'm a leader. I'm the leader of this team, and they look for me at any point in the game, and that's not just scoring-wise, I do other things.

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.

I'm going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best life I can with it.
