I honestly didn't even know who the coach was when I was coming to New York. I just wanted to win a championship; I didn't even know who was coaching. I didn't care. It could have been Aunt Jemima. They could have had the syrup coaching. I was coming here regardless. I just wanted to win a championship here.
I'm not a player, I'm an alien. I wasn't actually there. I was in another galaxy with my galactic friends. My focus is on winning championships. I don't focus on anything else. Aliens only want to win championships. That's it. Injuries is not a focus. Trade talk is not a focus. Nothing is a focus. Gluten-free pasta is not a focus, which I would rather have gluten-free pasta. Hey, if I have to have regular pasta. ... It is what it is. I'm still going to try to win a championship. Nothing will distract me from my focus, my galactic mind.
Always have fun but stay hungry. Find that balance.
There's a lot of negativity in the world. I'm trying to be positive.

Changing my name was meant to inspire and bring youth together all around the world.
I'm a little obsessed with being competitive.
The Earth is moving right now.
I definitely want to thank my doctor, Dr. Sandy, um, my psychiatrist, she really helped me relax a lot, thank you so much.
They better not put me in the All -Star Game. I won't shoot, but I'll dominate that easy game. I'll be playing hard defense. I'll be foulin'. I'll be flagrant fouling. Everyone will be like, 'What are you doing?'
Having a record company and putting out my own CD. There's clothes and shoes. There's also an upcoming book deal that I'm trying to do. I'm trying to be positive. I'm a big fan of the Nobel Peace Prize.
I'm one of the best defenders to ever play basketball, so I'm still the first option on defense.
I wanted to play in New York when I was in my prime and I was young, fierce, lock-down [defender]. Madison Square Garden, that would have been sick. But right now, China is way more adventurous for me.
You know, you've got fans and 99.9 percent of them are great-and .1 percent are jerks.
Some things you do-or you're about to do-you can just be like, 'Hey, don't do that because it means trouble.' So I've got to back off.
Until my legs break off or I get paralyzed, I can play this way. It helps me be me.
Basketball was always something I felt I could dominate, something I could control.
For years now, the Lakers have expressed interest in having me play for them, but we could never get the stars to align. I'm finally a Laker...
