I think it was wishful thinking of me to dream of being an NBA player. And once I made the NBA I dreamed of being an All-Star, but I never dreamed of being an MVP.

The truth is I'm a bit old school. For me, it would be hard to put on a Lakers jersey. That's just the way it is.

I have a tendency, especially when I'm playing with great players, to try and get them the ball.

Its crazy! I'm watching Linsanity hoping every shot goes in. Hope I never grow up.

It's cool to challenge myself to learn new things as opposed to going to play basketball in the park for millionth time.

I have to say I've worked very few days of my life. I used to have to cut the lawn, and when I was in junior high school, I worked at a concession stand at a stadium.

We love playing together and we love adversity. You know, back-to-back, the two best teams in the East.
