I know there's a lot of pressure, but I'm just going to go out and play my game.
I don't put pressure on myself. When I put pressure on myself, then I just play bad. When I play bad, my team plays bad.
When I really like something, I try to put my all into it. This is something thats different from when I was growing up on the basketball court, running up and down, scoring 30 points or something. This is totally something different.
I think I am a smarter player now.
It's easier for me to let the game just come to me.
I am looking forward to continue my career in Orange & Blue and to work with Phil Jackson, a champion who builds championship teams. Madison Square Garden is the mecca of basketball and I am surrounded by the greatest fans in the world.
Leadership is something I was born with.
I can't palm a basketball.
I understand the NBA and the role I play on my team. I know that I have to play a leadership role and do whatever I have to do to win.
I think everybody has their own unique style.
I have my own identity as a player.
I don't think there could ever be more pressure to succeed than the pressure I place on myself.
I got an owner that looks out for me. You can't beat that.
I think I'll always want to improve my defense. That's something that can always be better. Not saying it's bad now, just something you should always work on.
I had all the normal interests - I played basketball and I headed the school paper. But I also developed very early a great love for music and literature and the theater.
THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL PROPERTIES with basketball courts, bathroom facilities, toilet facilities. Many young people would love to get the hell out of cities
I grew up playing sports, football, basketball, baseball, everything, and acting was such a different environment and different world for me.
Although I grew up in Kansas City, ... I have always kept more or less au courant of Texas barbecue, like a sports fan who is almost monomaniacally obsessed with basketball but glances over at the N.H.L. standings now and then.
I played three sports in high school, baseball, football and basketball. Baseball really helped me a lot.
Unlike last year, we're not just happy to be here in the Finals
There's a disposition great defenders have - a genuine pride that scores are a problem, people that score on me is a problem
I definitely like to stay active. Im a huge fan of the NBA and the sport of basketball. I love to play pick-up games in Brooklyn where I live.
I always wanted to be a basketball player until I discovered Pizza Pockets.
I don't intend to retire.
If I were in charge I'd drug test all you sons of b****es, not just the athletes.
