I believe that the measure of a person's life is the affect they have on others.
If every basketball player worked as hard as I did, I'd be out of a job
People have always doubted whether I was good enough to play this game at this level. I thought I was, and I thought I could be. What other people thought was really always irrelevant to me.
I learned at a young age to dribble with both hands, and that allows me to be more creative when I go against bigger and stronger opponents.
I am a huge believer in giving back and helping out in the community and the world. Think globally, act locally I suppose. I believe that the measure of a person's life is the affect they have on others.
My best move is probably my pull up jump shot.
You should always want your coach to be critical. It gives you an opportunity to learn and to overcome adversity
I know the strengths and weaknesses of my teammates. I make my passing decisions accordingly
You should be able to voice your opinion and respect the voice of the other side. You should be willing to educate yourself and know what it is you're dealing with.
The NBA has the best point guards in the world, so it is important that I come ready to play every night.
The pick and roll is more about bodies and eyes then speed and being fast
I think it's important that people stand up for what they believe in. It's important that people discuss things.
I lick my fingers because I don't like when my hands get slick. Licking my fingers helps me keep a good grip on the ball.
The crowd gives us so much energy and we are able to really feed off of it. Hitting those shots and having the crowd go crazy helps boost our confidence. We love our fans.
We were excited to win, staying undefeated is just the icing.
That's the key to our team. We have so many weapons. You can just pick your poison.
I used to collect hockey cards. It was like Vegas at my school. You'd go to school with your box of cards, and at recess and lunchtime there were all these games we'd play.
It feels great to have my hard work pay off, especially when the fans made it hard for me.
I love basketball and I'm committed to it, but if I have to lock up my spirit because of basketball, it ain't worth it.
The toughest opponents to defend are Iverson, Marbury and Payton. They are all very talented and can shoot at anytime from anywhere.
What happened in the past is just that, the past. Champion or not.
I am not too accusatorial or defensive by nature. I have always been kind of philosophical about it, remembering that it is just a game. People take these things too seriously.
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's important for us, if we're going to be a good team, to be a good defensive team in the fourth quarter.
I have definitely gone through my ups and downs and faced my adversity and my nay-sayers, but managed to do all right. It is a pretty classic tale.
