Besides P.E., geography was my best class in high school. I was in this gifted class when I was younger, and it was wicked!

What really excited me at the end was the challenge of being the best I can be and prolonging my best level and playing against the best players in the world. But now that I don't have the opportunity to play against the best players in the world when it counts, in front of fans, it doesn't excite me as much.

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

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

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

It feels great to have my hard work pay off, especially when the fans made it hard for me.

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.
