I always say if the house I live in is comfortable, and I have all the amenities I need, then what more can you ask for?

I tell the young kids, you have eight or nine months of the year to play basketball and the rest of the year you can relax. So, you've got to be ready. It doesn't last forever.

Whether that is me retiring, staying here or going somewhere else, it will be on my terms. I've made it to this point, and I felt great that I have the choice to make it for myself.

When people say God blessed me with a beautiful jump shot, it really pisses me off. I tell those people, 'Don't undermine the work I've put in every day.' Not some days. Every day.

There is an entire culture out there built around siphoning money from an athlete, and the young men and women who come through just feed the machine.

It comes down to consistency-if you want to be a great shooter, you have to shoot the same way every time.

I've ultimately decided that I will not play this NBA season. I'm going to take the remainder of this season, as well as the upcoming off-season, to reassess my situation, spend time with my family and determine if I will play in the 2015-16 season.
