Do I need my number retired throughout the course of the league to acknowledge what I've done? No.

I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me . . . Failure always made me try harder next time.

I think the players win the championship, and the organization has something to do with it, don't get me wrong. But don't try to put the organization above the players.

Even though, physically, I can't do it, the mind says, 'Yeah, I can still do it,' and I still think I can do it better than most in the NBA, … Driven From Within.

Basketball isn't my job.

I just feel that my competitive drive is far greater than anyone else that I've met, and I think that I thrive on that.

I don't go out and just try to score. I score because there is an opportunity to score.
