I'm not really worried about my numbers now as a 36-year-old. I'm not trying to be the first, experimental case of a 36-year-older trying to maintain his numbers, especially when I'm on a team like this. Can I do the same stuff I could do when I was Amare's age? Of course not. I'm not going to even try. However, I feel that I'm the baddest 36-year-old out there.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, bet you can't type that.

All of my projects are done right because I know the game, and I consider myself a rap expert.

I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me. And the one guy who didn't vote for me, thank you, too.

I have orders not to come back until I'm a thousand percent.

I just said to myself, 'Damn, I'm a great player.'

I failed, I think, seven [or] eight times before I finally got my first [championship]. It was just, you know, just about me growing up. Now that I'm an old, old veteran-age 29-I do things a lot differently. I don't go to the gentlemen's clubs anymore. I had to slow that down.
