I honestly didn't even know who the coach was when I was coming to New York. I just wanted to win a championship; I didn't even know who was coaching. I didn't care. It could have been Aunt Jemima. They could have had the syrup coaching. I was coming here regardless. I just wanted to win a championship here.

I'm one of the best defenders to ever play basketball, so I'm still the first option on defense.

For years now, the Lakers have expressed interest in having me play for them, but we could never get the stars to align. I'm finally a Laker...

I'm not a player, I'm an alien...My focus is on winning championships. I don't focus on anything else. Aliens only want to win championships.

I wanted to play in New York when I was in my prime and I was young, fierce, lock-down [defender]. Madison Square Garden, that would have been sick. But right now, China is way more adventurous for me.

There's a lot of negativity in the world. I'm trying to be positive.

The Earth is moving right now.
