I use a lot of balance training and functional training. Basically it's where you add an element of instability to a regular exercise. So whether it's on the physioball or the Bosu ball or just balancing on one leg, I try to incorporate an instable plane and/or movement to the exercise, so the body's doing two or more movements.

The NBA has the best point guards in the world, so it is important that I come ready to play every night.

When I think of my career, I can't help but think of the kid with his ball, falling in love.

You make your own luck in life, so I'm not criticizing anyone - and I'm not even talking about myself for that - but I mean, every year, look at the team that wins. You can't control everything in a team sport. So I'm not going to cry about it, but yeah, there are moments where I'm like, "F - k." But I say it almost in an appreciative way, in a way where I realize it's great not everyone can do it. I wasn't fortunate enough to do it, but that's what makes winning a title so special.

I don't care what other people say. I fight every day to be the best player I can.

You have good games, you have bad games. You have good years, you have bad years. I have always been kind of philosophical about that.

You know, once you have been through a certain amount of things in life, you definitely grow more comfortable with yourself.
