“I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow. I just know for sure I’m going to keep playing basketball.”

I’m an old-school type of guy.

My friends are happy for me, and that’s all that matters.

Whoever want my spot can play me one-on-one for it.

I’m busy working on every aspect of my game – defense, shooting, rebounding – but I really want to become a better overall team player.

Experience is the best teacher. I’ve been through a lot – going to the Olympics, going to the Finals, having a lot of good games and having a lot of bad games. It’s a rollercoaster ride and I’m just happy I’m a part of it. If it was easy, then everybody could do it.

I’ve got a long way to go to being the ultimate best, but I think my time is now. And I’m starting to enter my prime.

I’ve just got to let my teammates know in practice, without even telling them, that I don’t think I’m ahead of anybody.

You can’t speak openly about everything.

Coaching staff: I know there’s days you look at that film and you want to kill me. I’m not playing defense, taking bad shots, getting too many techs. But you always believe that I can be the guy.

If I come to work every day and do my job, work as hard as I can, be a great teammate, the rest of that stuff will take care of itself.

I’m going to show you my faults, I’m going to show you my insecurities, I’m going to be real.

People always think women meet us in the hotel lobby, but it’s the opposite.

If I’m educated and passionate about a topic, I’ll answer the question. But I also know when to shut the hell up.

If he had 30 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, I can tell you exactly how he did it, what type of shots he made and who he passed to.

When you got people behind you, you can do whatever.

I’m just more content with myself. Like, if I’ve got something to say, I want to get it off of my chest.

If you keep thinking about what you want to do or what you hope will happen, you don’t do it, and it won’t happen.

My son, I do not say these are foals and those asses, these little monkeys and those great baboons, as you would have me do. As I told you from the first,

If people are noticing the hard work I’m doing, then that’s a wonderful thing.

My mother wanted me to be her wings, to fly as she never quite had the courage to do. I love her for that. I love the fact that she wanted to give birth to her own wings.

The most valuable of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it has to be done, whether you like it or not.

Anything I would do, I would have to be me. That is how it would work.

There’s a couple of things you shouldn’t do to other humans and you shouldn’t say to other humans that Khal Drogo does.

I don’t watch a lot of other basketball away from the gym. But I do look at LeBron’s box score. I want to see how many points, rebounds and assists he had, and how he shot from the field.
