I'm a taper. I'll usually watch how I can beat my defender, what my defender is lacking and what is he scared of. |
I'm an All-Star in my mind, and I'm an All-Star to this city, my peers and this organization. So that's all that matters to me. |
I'm at a point in my career where no one can stop me. It's going to take more than one guy to stop me. They better have a back line. |
I'm going to have more opportunities to make them and be on the other side of this. It was there, just a little off. It wasn't our day. |
I'm not as nervous as I was. The first time you do anything, you get butterflies. Your body feels, I don't know, kind of strange. |
I'm not disappointed [to not be picked by fans or coaches]. I'm just happy I made it. It's an honor. |
I'm not one of those fakers who is going to scream and flop and play all those little mind games trying to get a call, I'm just going to go and get my basket, ... But then I look on TV and see Paul Pierce shot 24 free throws and Michael Redd shot 17 and I'm like, 'Man, I go to the hole harder than anybody, so where are the calls at?' |
I'm on a mission. Somebody has to pay. Somebody is going to pay until I end my career. |
I'm still learning. A leader is that person who knows everything, who's been experienced. I don't know if I'm that experienced to teach anybody yet. I'm still taking lessons from somebody like Chucky [Atkins], somebody like Antonio [Daniels], because they've been in the league more than me. |
If the Heat loses three and somebody wins three, they're right in second. But for right now (Detroit and Miami are) 1-2 and everybody is just chasing. |
If they terminate me, I won't have a problem with that. I'll pay them the money they owe me and the money they just gave me. Just let me out clean, don't hold anything against me and let's pretend like we didn't even know each other. |
If you want to go to the NBA and you're a guard, go to Lute Olson. |
In the first half, we forgot our game plan and (James) was just getting down the lane. In the second half, we tried to cut the lane off, and I don't think we gave him a field goal. |
In this league, it's about growing up, ... That's one of the areas I've got to grow up in. . . . Everyone knows I can score. Everyone knows I can do all these great things, but if you want to be an MVP in this league, you've got to do everything. I've just got to become a better defensive player. |
