Kids put life into perspective. I never have a bad day. Life happens and you get bad news sometime, or things don't go your way at work - for me that might mean I lose a game or not play well - but that doesn't affect my mood from day to day. I love going home and seeing the smiles on my daughters' faces being happy to see me, and that makes everything all right.

I liked school and was a bit of an all-rounder academically, I struggled with music. I can't hold a note when singing and abandoned any notion of a career in music after barely scraping a pass in grade 2 piano.

What goes through my head when I'm going to take a game-winning shot is ... I better make it. Don't be afraid of the moment.

The funny part is I feel like somebody is stalking me, like, at my local course and sizing up my game.

I'd rather be a non-All-Star playing in the Western Conference finals than an All-Star who's sitting at home in May.

Obviously he deserved that Finals MVP award. He is a great talent and he is a huge reason why we are celebrating.

Every step of the way I think you learn something that makes you a better player, and all those lessons really come out when it matters the most in a championship.
