People just don't understand how obsessed I am with winning.
The motivation for me is just the game itself, just playing the game the right way and trying to win, compete every time I step out there on the floor. That's motivation enough for me to go out there and play well.
Winning takes precedence over all. There's no gray area. No almosts.
I'm extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. Scoring titles and stuff like that... it sounds, well, I don't care how it sounds - to me, scoring comes easy. It's not a challenge to me to win the scoring title, because I know I can.
When you start training camp, you're building the tools necessary to win a championship. You have to have the patience.
It never bothered me when people would say, 'You only win championships because you're playing with Shaq.' It bothered me when he said it.
I don't just try to score. The challenge is elevating my teammates to be able to win a championship.
I feel like I just returned a 100-yard kickoff in the last two minutes of the Super Bowl to win it all, only to have my run called back by a flag on the play.
I focus on one thing and one thing only - that's trying to win as many championships as I can.
I was probably born a scorer, but I was made a winner. Whatever works, whatever wins championships, wins games, that's what I do.
I don't think a coach becomes the right coach until he wins a championship.
If they want to win right now, I'm all for it. That's all I said the whole time. If you want to wait five years, let me know. My legs aren't as young as they used to be.
