Each time I step on the basketball court, I never know what will happen. I live for the moment. I play for the moment.

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

You have competition every day because you set such high standards for yourself that you have to go out every day and live up to that.

You know what I think? Very few people play because they love the game. Most of them play because they make good money. They keep playing because of the money. I could care less about it. If I don't love the game, no check is going to keep me playing.

When I play against someone that's new in the league, I make him respect me. They may have heard about me, but now you get to see me actually in front of you. That drives me.

Failure gave me strength. Pain was my motivation
