It's hard being the NBA's sex symbol, but somebody has to do it.

I'm not a young jitterbug anymore. When I was a young jitterbug, I never won. I didn't start winning until I got older. The older I get, the wiser I get. You just have to play it smart.

Opinions are like belly buttons; everybody has one. I never knock a man for his opinion.

I don't know their names. Their names have been erased from my memory banks. If I tried to bring 'em back, I'd get shocked.

Going from Army base to base as a kid taught me to be a man of all nations. I'd go to the Jewish people and say, 'Shalom, brother.' I go to the Muslim people and say, 'Salaam aleikum.'I go to the Chinese people and say, 'Nee hao mah,' which means, 'How you doin'?' I go to the Japanese people and say, 'Konnichiwa.' I go to San Antonio, Texas, and I get along with Mexicans. Then I go to Louisiana and hang with the Creoles. Moving around a lot made me a man of all people.

Flash, take the game off. I'll go out and do the work.
