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.

My dream has become a reality now, and it's the best feeling I've ever had.

It would be easier if I didn't even make the playoffs, it would hurt less. But then I start thinking about how much fun it is.

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.

I was supposed to take the ball out. I told coach, 'There's no way I'm taking the ball out, unless I can shoot it over the backboard and it goes in. I told him, 'Have somebody else take the ball out, give me the ball, and everybody get out of the way.'

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

We played well all the way until, like, the second quarter.
