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

I'm playing; I'm here. I'm going to fight until they tell me they don't want me anymore.

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.

People have always doubted whether I was good enough to play this game at this level. I thought I was, and I thought I could be. What other people thought was really always irrelevant to me.

The pick and roll is more about bodies and eyes then speed and being fast

I know that to be a good player, you have to stay healthy, and you have to be as athletic as you can possibly be.

Sometimes it's difficult maintaining my friendships, but to me, it's well worth it.
