Pat Riley is the best coach I've ever had...

I'm like President Bush. You may not like me, you may not respect me, but you voted me in.

And I want to do it the right way, like everybody else, not just a famous figurehead that gets a job because he is a famous basketball player. I want to really learn the business.

Can I go one day without somebody saying something negative about me?

I think he got an incidental elbow in the face, messed up his pretty red lips a little bit. But other than that he'll be fine.

Talk to the guys that ain't doing nothing, don't talk to me. I just want eight guys out there with me who want to play.

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