I just hope my involvement brings a wider fan-base and more interest to an already exciting and fun sport.
I don?t regret coming to college. I had a fun year. I had a great year on the court, and off the court at school.
You've got to have fun on the court. If you ain't having fun, then basketball ain't fun.
I think I'm the most underrated superstar that's out there, but that doesn't matter to me.
I've been at the funerals of a lot of people in my neighborhood. Sometimes when I sit back and relax, I think about that and just blank out.
I'm me. I'm just out there being myself. I like having fun. But at the same time, I bring everybody together. So I'm really -- or I try to be -- like the glue of the team.
When I was young, I was sold on winning. I was always serious on the court. As I got older, I realized that it was just a basketball game. Just go out there and have fun.
To go out there and play and have fun and hopefully win a championship. That's my goal.
I'm just excited about the project. I think that we are going to have a lot of fun to come.
We're very confident. We have high expectations. Every time we play the Clippers, they are great at adjusting in the second half to what we are doing in the first half. They are also sending two or three people at me every time I touch the ball. That's a sign of respect. They try to mix it up. They play with my head a little.
I've never seen anybody shoot like that. There is really nothing you can do about it.
It was tough to come out. I didn't want to come out. I felt like I had it going on. I guess (Karl) felt I needed a rest or something like that.
It was an ugly win, no doubt about it. But we just kept our composure. We wanted to play hard from beginning to end.
It was a broken play. We didn't have anything when they jumped out on our pick- and-roll. I wanted to take the last shot whether I missed it or I made it, which I didn't. I've made more than I've missed at the end of the game.
