It's all about concentration and repetition. That's all it is.
People in general misunderstand me. I'm very aware of the stereotype that comes with being a basketball player. But I'm well-rounded. I'm cultured. It's funny: When I speak, people are like, "Wow! You can really talk." I'm like, "What did you expect?"
I'm just trying to be the best player that I can be.
When you're not in the game, you can watch. Certain players have mannerisms, and they do the same things repetitiously.
I know that sacrifices have to be made to play with good teams.
If you want to win, you have to sacrifice and do what makes the team work most efficiently.
I havent won on my birthday since college, so its good to play hard and get a win by double figures.
We didnt come out with any energy. We know were not good enough to let the game come to us. We have to come with high energy, play hard team basketball and do everything the right way. Coming into the season, we all knew we didnt have too much room for error.
I can motivate myself fine just by wanting to be my best.
You can't worry about what people say, but... People always harp on athletes being selfish individualists.
I had a turnover and three missed shots down the stretch. I just have to make sure I calm my nerves.
I'm a winner. Dwyane's a winner. We're going to bring winning to Miami.
Yeah, that was my best scoreless game ever.
You think you're grown in college but you're not, because everything is kind of controlled. You lose the camaraderie and suddenly find yourself alone in an apartment just feeling lost.
