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.

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 fans in Dallas were hard on me my first year, but after having a great year last year they are now supporting me. It feels great to have my hard work pay off, especially when the fans made it hard for me.

I lick my fingers because I don't like when my hands get slick. Licking my fingers helps me keep a good grip on the ball.

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

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