The basketball court for me, during a game, is the most peaceful place I can imagine. On the basketball court, I worry about nothing. When I'm out there, no one can bother me.

I play to win, whether during practice or a real game. And I will not let anything get in the way of me and my competitive enthusiasm to win.

I hate being out there with those garbage men. They don't get you the ball.

I can't speak for the future. I have no crystal ball.

Playing sick. That is so hard to do. It has to be a total mental challenge, as well as the physical challenge.

The greatest people that ever lived were also the greatest failures. They just didn’t let those failures affect them like they do most.

I will not quit this game because of what the media has done to me.
