Every time that I've won a championship I've looked at my guys around me and looked at their work ethic and said 'You know what, I'm going to win it this year. I feel that way now.

It feels good. It's not bad for somebody who can't shoot.

I think the new ball is terrible. It's the worst decision some expert, whoever did it, made. It's terrible. It's like touching an exotic dancer and then going and touching a plastic blow-up doll. You know, it feels different.

I started out as a football player. I liked to inflict pain. In basketball, it was the same thing.

I'm short and to the point.

When I first came in, I partied and had a good time. I used to spend $500,000 on chains that don't make no sense. Then I started having babies. I don't do the bull**** no more.

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