We've been playing ugly. Without all of our bodies, we've been kicking it all over the shop, but fortunately we've been able to make the big buckets and rely on our defense for once.

I learned at a young age to dribble with both hands, and that allows me to be more creative when I go against bigger and stronger opponents.

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

Play because it's fun, and not to become a pro. If your goal is to become pro, the best way to realize that is by loving what you do.

My closest friends in the league are Dirk Nowitzki and Rex Chapman. Although I think Michael Finley and I will be friends forever.

I am not too accusatorial or defensive by nature. I have always been kind of philosophical about it, remembering that it is just a game. People take these things too seriously.

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.
