If there were camera phones back in the day, the biggest athletes in the world would have had a lot of explaining to do.

The topic of leadership is a touchy one. A lot of leaders fail because they don't have the bravery to touch that nerve or strike that chord. Throughout my years, I haven't had that fear.

I'm playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition - that's what I've always wanted.

You just try to take it one day at a time, ... You step on the basketball floor and just play. It's fun. I'm comfortable with it.

You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.

There's been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that's simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we've won when I score 10.
