“Whenever there is a big game and people don’t think I can do it, I always play my hardest, and now it has become a part of me.”

Most days I am in public. If I go to the store, with social media, I’m in public. It might as well be a press conference.

I think people have had the understanding for many years that whatever happens with the separation of parents, that the kids automatically go to the mother. The fathers don’t know their rights.

I’m scared of needles.

Guys who might not be superstars but because of their hustle, because of the little things they do, these are the guys who can really mean the difference between winning and losing.

I’m a playmaker, and I’m going to score. At the end of the day, my job is to put the ball in the basket.

You have to wear what feels good on you, what you feel comfortable in. And I’ve just learned to not really care.

To wear a gray tweed suit, you have to be mature and confident in yourself. Some people can’t pull it off.

Players are ready to play, We’re not on strike. It’s a lockout.

Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind.

I’ve played for the Miami Heat my whole career under Pat Riley. Mr. GQ himself. So when I pick out my outfits before a game, I’m already feeling confident. And some of that swagger stays with me when I take the court.

The biggest surprise has been making the adjustment after losing a game.

I think about my sons and the legacy I have to leave for them – and it always brings me back to reality.

When I first got into the league, I tried to fit in. Now I don’t care.

I think the main thing for kids is to have them believe in themselves.

Man, anytime the ball goes through the basket. It doesn’t matter if it’s a jumper or a drive.

I think the biggest thing I’ve learned is to not really worry what people will say or think about what you wear.

Fashion is defined by what later becomes out of fashion.

Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Improvise. Become more creative. Not because you have to, but because you want to. Evolution is the secret for the next step.

The basic work of health professionals in general, and of psychotherapist s in particular, is to become full human beings and to inspire full human-beingness in other people who feel starved about their lives.

A country is considered the more civilised the more the wisdom and efficiency of its laws hinder a weak man from becoming too weak and a powerful one too powerful.

Life is a lively process of becoming.

Before I became the ‘Great Test of the West,” I was the ‘Beast of the East.’

There is very little distance between being a fool and being wise; they are extremely close. When we are really, truly fools, when we actually acknowledge our foolishness, then we are way ahead. We are not even in the process of becoming wise – we are already wise.

I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I’ve done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?
