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

You should always want your coach to be critical. It gives you an opportunity to learn and to overcome adversity

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

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.

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

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.
