player years league
A lot of players know I've been around 13 years and this is my second lockout. I got a lot of respect. I know what's going on both for the league and the union.
sometimes coaches knows
You know coaches. Sometimes they ramble.
winning goal the-end-of-the-day
At the end of the day, the ultimate goal is winning the ballgame.
team player games
I probably visualize myself, the shots I'm going to get in the game, how I'm going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team's best player, what it's going to take out of me, the whole aspect of the game.
body kind grew
I've always been a late bloomer. My body developed late. From ninth to 10th grade, I grew like 3 inches. Just kind of stretched out. I was like 6-1, grew to 6-4 in 10th grade.
focus balls want
When you got it going, you got it going. I just keep my focus down the stretch. Thats when I want the ball. Im just not afraid to fail.
team games giving
When you give a team life, give a team confidence, anything can happen in a Game 7.
basketball lasts treats
Playoff basketball ... you've got to treat every possession like it's your last.
basketball zero games
The game isn't over till the clock says zero.
guy looks feels
A lot of guys look toward me for leadership. I feel like I can provide some of that.
guy battle process
It's all a learning process. You've got to learn from experience, the battles you go through. Some guys continue to grow. Hopefully, that's what I'll continue do.
thinking player best-players
I don't think Kobe is the best player. I'm the best player.
missing awful shots
Making the big shot wouldn't feel so good if missing it didn't feel so awful
games people stores
I've never been on the cover of a game. When people go into the store and see me on the cover of a game, maybe that will entice them to buy it.
