Family time is the best time.
Any decision I make is the biggest decision of my life.
Man, I'm not trying to be important; I just go out and play.
A lot of people I meet say, 'You remind me so much of Magic Johnson.'
I'm laid back, I take my time, get the job done. Lebron is high flying, dunking, passing the ball well. He's getting the job done, too. But we're different.
I don't think there could ever be more pressure to succeed than the pressure I place on myself.
I think I'll always want to improve my defense. That's something that can always be better. Not saying it's bad now, just something you should always work on.
I know there's a lot of pressure, but I'm just going to go out and play my game.
Although you do look at the big picture, if you're dealing with the now, it can be kind of frustrating. You're losing basketball games, things not going the way you want it to go or should go, but at the same time we've just got to stay with it. Just stay positive, just stay focused, as a team, as a unit, because the ship easily can sink early.
To go out there and play and have fun and hopefully win a championship. That's my goal.
We're still getting better as a team. We're still learning how to play basketball as a team and how to win tough games.
I kind of knew Cleveland was going to get the No. 1 pick. I think they rigged it. No, don't quote me on that.
It's easier for me to let the game just come to me.
I think everybody has their own unique style.
