Look up the word role in the dictionary and you'll see it means playing a part. That's why I call myself a real model.

When you flop, that's just another message that you don't know how to play me. Stand up and take your medicine like a man.

I painted my toenails before Dennis Rodman. One time at training camp, I stubbed my toe and the nail came loose. My mom gave me some toenail hardener, and I painted over it. I scored 40-something points that night, so it became a ritual. Paint my toenails, score 40 points.

Before I became the 'Great Test of the West," I was the 'Beast of the East.'

I said it jokingly, so this guy was just trying to stir something up that's not there. He's just somebody who doesn't have a sense of humor, like I do.

But you can not compare Yao's stats to mine. You just can't compare it and I am playing everyone one-on-one.

The East is going to be pretty easy for me. The Great Chest of the West becomes the Great Beast of the East.
