“A wet spot on the floor kind of put a scare in myself, so you never know inside those lines what might happen.”

I’m blessed to have such a tight-knit family that we can talk about anything. Whether we talk frequently or not, since we’re on separate ends of the country, there are a lot of moving parts, and we always stay tight and find that center ground that keeps us together.

Playing basketball all my life, I’ve collected a lot of different basketball shoes. It’s pretty much all I wear.

I don’t like people looking at someone else’s image.

I always have confidence, whether I miss four in a row or make four in a row, that the next one’s going in. To a coach, sometimes that might not make sense.

It’s kind of a weird process being pitched by the company you’re already with.

You can play fast but not in a hurry. As a point guard, I can dictate that.

For me, when you are have people wondering what is next, what is coming out, you are on the right track.

Hopefully I won’t be the last big splash at Under Armour.

It’s crazy how fast you get out of shape if you miss a couple days of action.

Shooting the ball is a part of the game. Everybody can shoot in their own way. Not everybody can make. But everybody can shoot.

I wasn’t going to shy away from getting married when I did and having a baby young and starting a family, even with the job that I chose.

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.

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.

When you’re playing against a whole bunch of All-Stars, it’s like a video game. There’s so much talent on the floor at once.

When I see old movies with women in floor-length dressing gowns, or when they’re going to the store and they’ve got a pillbox hat with a net over the eyes and white gloves,

We all know the sense of comfort of which we are conscious when a good half of the floor space in a room is unencumbered; this seems to offer us the agreeable possibility of moving about freely.

On a sea floor that looks like a sandy mud bottom, that at first glance might appear to be sand and mud, when you look closely and sit there as I do for a while and just wait, all sorts of creatures show themselves, with little heads popping out of the sand. It is a metropolis.

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 know what I do for my team and what my teammates expect of me on both ends of the floor.

When I was nine years old, living on the south side of Chicago, my father was a minister and my mother used to scrub floors.

I took an elevator to the top floor of many buildings and walked down floor by floor on the stairs going into every firm and asking the receptionist if she knew of any jobs available.
