Thank God I had two parents who loved me enough to stay on my case.

The first three championships that I won, I won them. I had big numbers and I won them. And last year, the guys won it for me. They won it for the big guy. Numbers are overrated. There's a lot of guys in this league who can say they've got great numbers. But they can't say they've got four rings in the last six years.

I got into foul trouble, so I really kind of had to play on egg shells from there on out.

In the seven or eight years we were together, we were never together.

To all the young people out there who think money and fame is important: that's only a small piece of the pie. You need an education to be totally secure in life. I feel very secure I can go get a real job now.

I'll take 14 out of 15 any day of the week, any week of the month, any month of the year, any year of the century. I don't know what comes after century.

It is not about how much money you make. The question is are you educated enough to KEEP it.
