The only reason people are saying I'm the number-one player is because I'm with the number-one team.

I started playing ball when I was 13 and a half. Before that, I just wanted to play football and baseball but I kept growing so I figured it was time for basketball.

Reporters don't know me, because I don't talk to them; I just talk to the players.

Owners want to make their team a winner so they can get more fans in the stands, and that's why they go after the best ball-players and pay 'em what they're worth.

I'm never gonna try it, because you got to pay a lot for cocaine, and that's not the way I want to spend my money.

You got to work hard whatever you're doing and try to be number one and take pride in what you're doing. You want to be at the best at your spot then you got to work hard, man. A lot of guys don't work as hard as it gonna take.

I don't talk to reporters, because they're gonna write what they want to write, so let 'em write what they want to write.
