Immediately after games, we're talking about what we need to do for the next game. We're not satisfied in the moment that we're in.
My upbringing involves individuals who helped me along the way. I don't think I would be here today without that support.
I realize that you have to be careful sometimes what you wish for.
Well, it used to be Kobe Bryant... the second best all time.... now, I have a new favorite player to play against... my former teammate, LeBron James.
I've stuck by being modest, honest and humble, because I think you'll get more appreciated that way and we all want to be appreciated in this world.
No team works out teamwork.
Whenever there is a big game and people don't think I can do it, I always play my hardest, and now it has become a part of me.
We play the whole summer. I do think guys should be compensated. Just like I think college players should be compensated as well. Unfortunately, it's not there. But I think it should be something, you know, there for it.
I would have to name two people - my parents. I've seen them come through adversity and work hard to create the best life for me and my siblings. Although I don't remember them together as a couple, I remember the love they had for their children.
Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind.
When people say that a certain sport is not a sport - have them play that sport and see if they can do it. Golf is one of the hardest sports you've ever played. Bowling is all about concentration, it's all about focus, it's all about aim.
I'll always be a Golden Eagle
I'm just showing my personality in my clothing.
Over my career, I've had to adjust my game.
To wear a gray tweed suit, you have to be mature and confident in yourself. Some people can't pull it off.
When you have kids, they are the consistent things in your life. They don't change no matter what's going on. They love you. They are more honest than anybody will be.
The biggest surprise has been making the adjustment after losing a game. In the NBA you could lose tonight and you have to put that game behind you because you have another game the next night.
Our goal is to be the best team in the NBA at the end of the year.
Guys who might not be superstars but because of their hustle, because of the little things they do, these are the guys who can really mean the difference between winning and losing.
I'm just a kid in a candy store right now, trying to have fun. I'm getting a chance to show my ability and my talent.
I'm a firm believer in God and I don't think he'd want me acting a certain way.
The locker room has to be right. We've got to be patient to build this team.
He's going to learn the hard way. Hopefully he changes his mentality quick.
A turtleneck is about sophistication.
My job, my whole life, I've always had that kind of doubter, people have always doubted me. And I don't know how I would succeed without it. So I welcome it, and it gives me a challenge, and I will see if I can live up to my challenge.
