Life changes when you have a child, when you have your own family. You become more careful about what you do. You're not going to be out late, going out to clubs, hanging out with your friends. You're going to be at home, taking care of your daughter, playing with her.

A lot of players know I've been around 13 years and this is my second lockout. I got a lot of respect. I know what's going on both for the league and the union.

Who cares who gets the last shot or scores the most points? Who cares who gets the credit? If we win, we're all winners.

When you got it going, you got it going. I just keep my focus down the stretch. Thats when I want the ball. Im just not afraid to fail.

I'm the best player in the NBA.

There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself.

A lot of guys look toward me for leadership. I feel like I can provide some of that.
