Man, people have been waiting for me to fall off my whole career. From the first time I stepped on the court. It probably made people sick to their stomachs watching my whole career, watching the things that I've done in my career.
I take everything I learned from the streets and put it in my NBA game.
When you work hard, good things happen
Please don't try to make things nice! All the wrong notes are right? I want it that way.
Believe me, I am not even that brave enough to miss that many practices.
Life is short. Im gonna be happy with mine.
I never took the game for granted as far as not having to work on what I needed to do to accomplish all of the things that I wanted to accomplish.
I went through what I went through because God said go through it
Being an All-Star is everything.
I don't want to just go to the playoffs, I don't want to go to the playoffs and win the first round, second round, and not win the whole thing because it's bittersweet.
I just try to look into the mirror, and work on the things that I wasn't doing, and I made a promise to myself that after the season, I will look at the same mirror, and say that you did everything you could
People think that I'm some tough renegade, black-hearted being, evil, but that ain't me.
You can put a murderer in a suit, and hes still a murderer.
It's unfair because the people booing, I believe, wouldn't want to have their child booed. Fans don't understand our lives and what we go through. They don't look at us as humans. We love the fans because they support and love the game, but at the same time it hurts when they turn their back on us.
