I'm accustomed to playing basketball really rough. When I came into the league, I was used to fighting on the court. That's how I grew up playing basketball.

Metta World brings championship mentality. That's it. One thing. That's what I do.

I just like to stay ready for whatever presents itself.

Patience is weapon. I learned that from my Laker days.

It's not all about becoming an NBA player; sometimes it's about becoming your best self and making the biggest impact you can make.

I'll just keep working hard and see where it takes me.

This media era is amazing. Twitter, Facebook, ESPN, news outlets everywhere.

As I get older, I'm learning how to just play hard.

I don't care if I'm starting or sweeping the floors. You hear me? I want to win.

I know we had a lot of wars on the court. The Pistons - those were the roughest games I ever played in.

I always like to make some jokes, sometimes.

I work hard. That's what people should know about me. I work hard. I eat right. I'm in the gym.

I shake everybody's hand before the game, but Oklahoma City, they don't shake hands. Only some of them, but I don't think they really shake hands before the game.

With MJ and Kobe, what you get is you get people who is talking trash to you and backing it up.

To me, Omarosa, she's just a nice lady, a big sister that I really love.

For me, basketball was always about survival because I was just trying to get out the hood, right? When I got to Chicago, I'm like, 'I'm just trying to survive, and anybody I got to step on or break, so be it.'

I'm not going to sugarcoat myself. For what?

When I was with the Bulls, I was very dysfunctional.

The thing about LeBron is he's very unselfish, right? So he can pass the ball.

When I guard LeBron, I used to always want him to shoot, but he would just make the right play. He's legendary for making the right play, and it's really hard to guard when you're a team player.

As far as the pros, people pay to come and see us, and I appreciate it because I'm able to take care of my family. So I don't really judge fans about what they say, good or bad.

I wish I would have listened, when I was a kid, to my elders or people who had my best interests at heart, and then I wish I would have been more conscious at that age also.

At 19 years old, when I came out of St. John's, I was fresh out the 'hood. I was fresh out of Queensbridge.

I want to go to China or coach or play arena football.
