“The biggest thing, and what I told some of the partners in the summit, was me thanking them for their constant support with everything that I’ve been through the last couple years on and off the court.”

I am very happy to be here in the NBA.

Any time the ball goes through the basket, and it’s going through consistently, it’s demoralizing for any opponent.

My upbringing involves individuals who helped me along the way. I don’t think I would be here today without that support.

I’m an athlete, so I can dress down with the best of them. I can throw on t-shirts and sweats with the best of them.

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.

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.

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.

The Migos, like anybody I ever been in the studio with, like an influence on my rap. I take this from him and him and him and, you know, put it with myself and make it work like that.

Mr. T. been to chemo, Mr. T been to radiation, hair fall out… but he’s back. Now I can give hope when I go to the hospital, see the sick kids with cancer, tell them, don’t quit.

I don’t like magic – but I have been known to make guys disappear.

There have been times when I played more than others, but I’ve been a road comic for a quarter of a century, so I’ve always played golf on the road because you have a lot of time to kill.

There’s never been anything like the so-called Vietnam Syndrome: it’s mostly a fabrication.

No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.

So, it’s a special event, right? Well, if you want to go see a movie that I’m in, it still may be a special event for you, but, you don’t feel like you don’t know where I’ve been.

I’ve never been one to look up the ladder. I’ve always looked down the ladder. As long as there’s one guy down there, I’m fine.
