I've talked to him a couple of times. It has always been short, but it's always been good things. He always told me to keep playing the way I play and to continue to carry myself the way I carry myself. I heard through the grapevine that one of the players in the NBA he likes to watch is me. That's a great thing.
I am really excited to have signed my first NBA contract today. It's nice to now concentrate more about playing than the business side of things.
I am very happy to be here in the NBA.
I love football. I'll watch the NFL before I watch any NBA.
Wherever you go, things change you. I mean, obviously moving to Miami and becoming part of the NBA has given me a different perspective on style than I had when I lived in Chicago or Milwaukee.
Our goal is to be the best team in the NBA at the end of the year.
The biggest surprise has been making the adjustment after losing a game. In the NBA you could lose tonight and you have to put that game behind you because you have another game the next night.
Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind.
My biggest achievement - besides being drafted into the NBA - was becoming a father. Being a father has made me experience things that have contributed to my maturity and personal growth.
They're the best team in the NBA right now.
Hopefully, I can become a staple, like my teammate Shaq. I'm grateful that NBA fans think so highly of my game.
When a guy's 6-8, raises as high as he does and fades on his shot, you just try to do the best that you can to put a hand in his face. He made big shots for them.
We lost a great teammate. But I was also excited because the guys coming in can help us get to where we need to go, and that's to win a championship.
We don't want injuries, especially to our best player, ... We just hope he can come back real soon. He's a big guy and anytime he gets injured it's a lot of weight that goes down on his knee, ankle or whatever he hurt.
