The love of playing trumps all of that, to be honest with you. Even the day I retire, I'll still be playing somewhere.

If you're good to the game, the game is usually good to you.

I think if you're in love, you're willing to do anything that comes with it.

As long as you can worry about the stuff you can control, that's always best for you.

Playing shooting guard is different. On defense you have to chase guys around more. On the point I'm just guarding guys on top.

I'm not talking about any one team but everyone knows how I feel about New York. I really enjoyed my time there.

When you're in love with it you're willing to do whatever it takes, whether be it cold tubs, or massages, acupuncture, whatever it might be. I think when you love the game purely all those things you're willing to do is sacrifice.

It's hard not playing.

Sometimes it's more about the journey than the destination.

I'm a baller, I'm a hooper.

When you love the game, playing is easy.

Shooters shoot. The worst thing a shooter can do is think. That's the best defense out there.

I think there's a role for everybody. Even a guy who's not known as a scorer, like a DeAndre Jordan - he sets the best screens, he blocks the most shots, he gets the most rebounds, he's great for your team, he helps you win games. Like, he helps you win big.

I don't have to play just against NBA guys. No, I'll play anywhere, anytime.

I mean, the hardest thing to do, I think, in the NBA, is to put the ball in the hole.

I give Seattle credit for grooming me, making me the person I am today.

I don't want people to receive me because I scored 20 points. I want it to be because I made an impression on them that lasts forever.

Honestly, I want to be known as a great ball player, but it's more important for me to be known as a good person. Like seriously, the greatest gift you have as a person is to give something to somebody else.

To me, the Northwest is the best. The air, it feels cleaner. The people are so nice and caring. Every time I fly in on a plane, I say, 'I'm never leaving here.' It's just different. People who aren't from here don't get it. It just fits certain people.

I've always loved coach Brett Brown. I've been on record. I've been a fan of his for years.

You want to put yourself in the best position to try and win.

I've been blessed enough where all the rules that come with age don't apply to me. People were saying I was old at 32.

At the end of the day, only one team wins.

I don't want to go to a team that's only won a few amount of games, but it doesn't have to be a contender.
