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

What happened in the past is just that, the past. Champion or not.

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.

Having a goal in your mind helps you manifest it in some way.

I love being part of a team, any team. Not just playing, but the camaraderie, the whole thing. It's just what I get off on.

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

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.
