A lot of people that I've had around me have been my closest friends since junior high, back when we were exchanging each other's clothes, staying at each other's houses. That was before I had anything.
I'm the best player in the NBA.
I try to play within the flow of the team's offense.
I look for challenges to keep me going.
When you give a team life, give a team confidence, anything can happen in a Game 7.
Once people start making comparisons to a player of the past, they want you to be that player. I try to go out there and create my own image, my own style, my own type of game. Right now I can't even think of one guy I've been compared to.
