I'm conservative with my money. I'm the one who's got a family and I can't be playing basketball forever, so when I retire, I want to live on what I've made.

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

To be a great offensive rebounder, you have to think like a defensive rebounder and battle for position while also being in the flow of your offense. And then it's just being determined.

I never thought I'd lead the NBA in rebounding, but I got a lot of help from my team-mates - they did a lot of missing.

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

When I was 15, they changed the playground rules because I was dominating everything and blocking everything that came my way.

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.
