We used to play 'Double Dribble' on Nintendo. Later, in high school, it was more 'NBA Live' and 'John Madden Football.'

Everybody knows how much I disliked the Knicks when I was with the Celtics, but I think it's grown to another level.

When you come off a losing season - one of the worst seasons in all of basketball - and get guys like Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett, two perennial All-Stars, we felt like we had a championship team.

You can't listen to every little thing that's bad or good said about you. I always used that - whenever I heard it, I used it as fuel to motivate me, man. That's how I was raised, whenever I came up.

Understanding who you are is saying, 'You're great; you have tons of confidence, and don't ever forget that.' And that helped me, man. Because when things weren't going right, I thought, 'You've got to remember who you are. Don't stray from that. Don't let these things get you down.'

Injuries are a big factor when you're trying to go on a championship run.

I originally was more into baseball and football, but being in Los Angeles, you just couldn't help but to fall in love with the game of basketball because they had such a winning tradition.

I respect our greats. I admire them.

That is one of my greatest strengths. I am not afraid to face challenges or any matchup in the 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.

I think too much of my leadership is done the bad way.

The rim is looking bigger and bigger every game.

Once people start making comparisons to a player of the past, they want you to be that player. I try to go out there and create my own image, my own style, my own type of game. Right now I can't even think of one guy I've been compared to.

At the beginning of the season, I set my goal to see if I can lead the league in scoring, because I feel I have that kind of ability. A lot of guys say it, but it's not really in their grasp. I feel that's really in my grasp.

Kids get influenced by other kids.

I'm a competitive player, and I love being on the court. If the NBA cancels the season I'm definitely looking at my options and considering going overseas.

Ubuntu is about a community coming together to help one another.

A lot of people that I've had around me have been my closest friends since junior high, back when we were exchanging each other's clothes, staying at each other's houses. That was before I had anything.

I'm a competitive person. I love the game of basketball. I'm a gym rat.

When you win a championship, it is a great feeling, and you really don't want that feeling to go away.

The Celtics don't celebrate anything but championships.

When you give a team life, give a team confidence, anything can happen in a Game 7.

You know coaches. Sometimes they ramble.

My favorite quarterback is Donovan McNabb. I think he's a complete quarterback. I love the way he can scramble and throw on the run. He can do it all. He can control a game.

Just soaking up the history of the Boston Celtics has been the best thing that's happened to me as a player.

The NBA is changing so much. It's not like when I came up, with that old-school mentality that practice really mattered.

I always say I wish I was in my prime matching up against LeBron. Let's see how many championships he would have won then.

The '80s, '90s, and early 2000s genes of competitive fire are dead and gone.

I think I've had an illustrious career.

It's just something I've always loved to do: talk basketball. It's easy for me to give my perspective, my analyst approach to it, because even when I played, I would watch film, talk about the game.

You see more friendships in the league. It's not like in the '80s when you had enemies, or you couldn't stand this guy, and there were fights all the time.

I've got three beautiful kids that wear me out after I get home from practice. I think that's a good thing so I'm able to get my rest.

If I had to single one guy out who is the most difficult player to guard in the league, it would have to be Carmelo.

Kobe is one of the best scorers in NBA history, but I don't have as much trouble with him in the post as I do with Carmelo.

LeBron is a great post-up player, but if you get him to settle for the jumper on some nights, you might be able to slow him down if his shot is off.

It's crazy how people just don't care sometimes about the kids they have.

I want to be the dad that my father never was.

You can actually get calls by yelling, 'And one!' as you release.

Understanding history means knowing what motivates you.

I'm an old-school guy. I'm a competitor.

Every kid who just played basketball knew about the Boston Celtics. They're one of the few teams who were always on national TV along with the Lakers.

I'm happy I'm able to leave a legacy behind. I'm happy I was able to win a championship. I have no regrets about nothing.

Sometimes when general managers get a new job, they clean house and start over and rebuild and get the players they want in there.

After 18 NBA years, it's hard to believe I'll be playing in each arena for the last time.

I'm not a guy who goes into the neighborhood, gets beat up by the bully's gang, and then now I want to join their gang. That's just not me. I wanna fight - let's go! I mean, I'm gonna stand up for myself. That's just the competitive nature of where I come from, the era I grew up in.

These seasons, as you get older, they just are so long and draining.

I just love the pressure, truthfully, man.

I love the fact that, if I don't win multiple championships, that I probably won't be mentioned amongst the other guys in Celtics history who've done it before. That type of stuff motivates me.

Dislike is what creates rivalries.

If I see LeBron walking down the street, it's not going to be no fistfight. I've got a lot of respect for him.
