“LeBron ain’t got none of my game, but his heart is all mine.”

I believe that whatever we have, regardless of a trade being done or not, I feel we have a shot. I’ve just got to believe that we’re going to be all right. I’ve got to just play basketball.

My mom always told me that I could be anything I wanted to be. And I truly, actually believed it. And I fought.

I have no regrets on anything. People ask me all the time, ‘Do I have any regrets?’ I don’t have any. If I could back and do it all over, would I change anything? No.

That’s the only thing that got me here is my teammates. My teammates and my coach. That’s the only reason I’m here.

Detroit was a bad situation for me.

I didn’t do this by myself, man. It was so many people, so many fans that came in there and cheered for me, night in and night out.

I’m not going to be the same as I was when I’ve made so many bad mistakes.

I had to learn that some people are just not going to like you. I had to have thick skin when I would see what people would say or write about me.

I owe all of this to the guys I’ve played with and all the coaches that have helped me get to where I’m at right now. I’m honored to be here.

I went from the projects to a real house. It was a big difference.

You used to think the suspect was the guy with the cornrows; now you see the police officers with the cornrows.

Coach’s voice will never leave my head as long as I live.
