“I don’t talk trash often, but when I do, I go for the jugular.”

When you start training camp, you’re building the tools necessary to win a championship. You have to have the patience.

I was probably born a scorer, but I was made a winner. Whatever works, whatever wins championships, wins games, that’s what I do.

You want a CEO that understands they need to build a team around them that’s sharper and smarter than they are.

What people see on court is another side of me; it’s not me.

There is power in understanding the journey of others to help create your own.

There’s been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that’s simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we’ve won when I score 10.

What does perfection look like to me? Championship rings.

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.

You just try to take it one day at a time, You step on the basketball floor and just play. It’s fun. I’m comfortable with it.

I’m playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition-that’s what I’ve always wanted.

Basketball is my refuge, my sanctuary. I go back to being a kid on the playground. When I get here, it’s all good.

I wouldn’t say I’m a ball hog. I’m a shooter. I don’t necessarily hog the ball, but I put them up though. I definitely much rather shoot it than pass it. That’s just how I am.

This is an award I couldn’t have won on my own. I can’t thank these guys enough. These are my guys, these are my brothers.

Friends come and go but banners hang forever.

If you don’t believe in yourself nobody else will.

I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.

If you want to change attitudes, start with a change in behavior.

Life can be wildly tragic at times, and I’ve had my share. But whatever happens to you, you have to keep a slightly comic attitude. In the final analysis, you have got not to forget to laugh.

If men gave birth, they’d be less inconsiderate.

Our attitudes control our lives. Attitudes are a secret power working twenty-four hours a day, for good or bad. It is of paramount importance that we know how to harness and control this great force.

I naturally want to be provocative.

Jesus used the carefree attitude of the birds to underscore the fact that worrying is unnatural. I am learning in my own life, day by day, to keep my mind centered on Christ.

Today, as yesterday, a nation is judged by its attitude towards refugees.

It’s nice to be important but it’s even more important to be nice. I grew up in a world where there were a lot of big physical guys…and woman so it’s always important to be nice to me.
