I don't take anything personal. I just have a certain file in my head, so Earthlings must be careful with what they say.

The Spurs are a great WNBA team.

The first three championships that I won, I won them. I had big numbers and I won them. And last year, the guys won it for me. They won it for the big guy. Numbers are overrated. There's a lot of guys in this league who can say they've got great numbers. But they can't say they've got four rings in the last six years.

Well, Doctor, I don't have the diagnosis on that. I'll be sure to do a physical checkup and get back to you.

Obviously, Sam is the type of guy that hides behind his pen and pad. I promise you he wouldn't say that to my face in a dark alley where it's just me and him and no witnesses.

It was a cheap shot. They won the game, move on. My thing is, I don't ask for a lot, but I demand my respect, especially from a guy like that.

My secret? See it, and stay focused on it.
