You should be able to voice your opinion and respect the voice of the other side. You should be willing to educate yourself and know what it is you're dealing with.

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.

My best memories are because I was on teams I love - even going back to being a kid. Not just in the NBA.

You have to rely on your preparation. You got to really be passionate and try to prepare more than anyone else, and put yourself in a position to succeed, and when the moment comes you got to enjoy, relax, breathe and rely on your preparation so that you can perform and not be anxious or filled with doubt.

Sometimes I'm very impatient. I also feel the need to please everyone, which is unnecessary and impossible.

That's the key to our team. We have so many weapons. You can just pick your poison.

We've got very few bodies right now so we were tired, but we've also got a lot of character and we want to win.
