“There’s a reason that I have confidence out there, and it’s about how I prepare for games and for series and seasons and whatnot, so we’ve got to stick with that kind of thought process.”

If you can’t move and talk to people that you see, it’s not really my scene.

There are so many things we have to overcome in this life with Jesus, His work on the cross. He’s paid the ultimate price for us, so I’m proud to be a child of God.

I’m not in the business of ranking or debating who is what.

I’ve always believed that success for anyone is all about drive, dedication, and desire, but for me, it’s also been about confidence and faith.

I think about the milestones from my childhood and what it will be like to watch our kids go through them. Taking Riley to her first day of school was a whirlwind. I can’t imagine what middle school is going to be like, and high school, and graduation.

The way I try to represent my family and coaches, I think all are characteristics the league aspires to portray. That’s just who I am.

Some of the stuff I do on the court is what most people think they can do.

Water is my drink.

You know, I’m trying to chase rings, and that’s all I’m about. So that’s where the conversation stops for me.

I have allergies, and I’ve had my share of nosebleeds, but that’s usually related to pollen.

Most home teams have chapels, so when I’m on the road I’ll probably go to their services.

Drinking water is essential to a healthy lifestyle.

I have certain guys who I looked up to. Jordan, Kobe, those guys. Passing that on to doing my part to kind of keep that influence of basketball where it should be is kind of why I play the game.

I can’t jump the highest. I’m obviously not the biggest, not the strongest.

When I step forward on the floor, I have the confidence that I’m the best player playing that night and that I am the most prepared at what I need to be doing.

I expected to be a pretty good NBA point guard and hopefully win a championship. But MVP and all this stuff? Not really.

Thus it comes That earth, without her seasons of fixed rains, Could bear no produce such as makes us glad, And whatsoever lives, if shut from food, Prolongs its kind and guards its life no more.

Everything has seasons, and we have to be able to recognize when something’s time has passed and be able to move into the next season. Everything that is alive requires pruning as well, which is a great metaphor for endings.

In the journey of the year, the autumn is Venice, spring is Naples, certainly, and the majestic maturity of summer is Rome.

I don’t think I realized that the cost of fame is that it’s open season on every moment of your life.

Thoughts in time and out of season, the hitchinker stood by the side of the road and levelled his thumb in the calm calculus of reason

It is a fine seasoning for joy to think of those we love.

People can be induced to swallow anything, provided it is sufficiently seasoned with praise.

If we are not happy and joyous at this season, for what other season shall we wait and for what other time shall we look?
