At some point we all have to move on. Im here to create some kind of legacy in Brooklyn.
The game isn't over till the clock says zero.
There's times you want to give up and times you want to move on ... you get so much satisfaction out of staying and sticking with it, and seeing things turn around.
It's all a learning process. You've got to learn from experience, the battles you go through. Some guys continue to grow. Hopefully, that's what I'll continue do.
I don't think Kobe is the best player. I'm the best player.
Once people start making comparisons to a player of the past, they want you to be that player. I try to go out there and create my own image, my own style, my own type of game. Right now I can't even think of one guy I've been compared to.
Making the big shot wouldn't feel so good if missing it didn't feel so awful
Who cares who gets the last shot or scores the most points? Who cares who gets the credit? If we win, we're all winners.
Playoff basketball ... you've got to treat every possession like it's your last.
You've got to watch your back. We are targets as basketball payers.
The Celtics don't celebrate anything but championships.
When you give a team life, give a team confidence, anything can happen in a Game 7.
At the end of the day, the ultimate goal is winning the ballgame.
The rim is looking bigger and bigger every game.
I've never been on the cover of a game. When people go into the store and see me on the cover of a game, maybe that will entice them to buy it.
Listening and talking to my teammates has helped me learn the NBA game. I know that talent can only take you so far.
A lot of guys look toward me for leadership. I feel like I can provide some of that.
There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself.
I think the most important thing I work on is just my mental approach to every day, my mental approach to the game. How to come in each and every day focused, doing what I want to do, I think that's just the biggest issue.
You know coaches. Sometimes they ramble.
I probably visualize myself, the shots I'm going to get in the game, how I'm going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team's best player, what it's going to take out of me, the whole aspect of the game.
I've never even been into those supplements or any of that. I don't even drink energy shakes. I'm not into that kind of stuff. You just get me an In-N-Out burger and some Popeye's fried chicken and I'm straight.
When you got it going, you got it going. I just keep my focus down the stretch. Thats when I want the ball. Im just not afraid to fail.
I don't get caught in the match-ups, trying to outduel somebody. It's a team game.
Life changes when you have a child, when you have your own family. You become more careful about what you do. You're not going to be out late, going out to clubs, hanging out with your friends. You're going to be at home, taking care of your daughter, playing with her.
