I don't believe that I personally have been changed by the money. The bad thing is people assume you've changed because now you have money.

Challenge me. Treat me like a game of checkers and play me. That's all I'm asking, just play me. Treat me like Sega and play me.

Me having a beautiful wife and great family and friends around me, all the money I've got, all the things that I've got, a Ferrari that I just ripped the top off of and turned into a convertible, the rings I got, the two mansions on the water, a master's in criminal justice, I'm a cop, plus I look good. So me shooting 40 percent at the foul line is just God's way of saying that nobody's perfect. If I shot 90 percent from the line, it just wouldn't be right.

If you're going to hire an assassin, let him go out and kill someone. I can't be Shaq taking six or seven shots.

Like I've always said, what's hot must go cold.

No matter where they put people, no matter how they try to promote people, there aren't too many people in the game today that are on my level on and off the court.

It's just one more win. I don't give a [bleep] how we do it, as long as we get it done. Did I say [bleep]? I'm sorry.
