A trade is a trade, but it's different as far as summertime versus in the season.

I'm going to compete every possession.

First of all, I'm misunderstood in general. I don't mind because I'm very quiet, and I stay to myself. People are going to say what they want to say.

My arms are pretty long.

I try to give as much advice as possible.

A lot of people didn't see me play in Sacramento. I think we had one TV game.

Only a couple of guys should be talking in practice.

I don't try to come in and act like I know it all, and that's why I put the extra work in of watching film, getting an understanding of what you want from personnel, each player.

Playing for the Bulls, playing for big organizations, like Boston, you're going to be judged from Day One. It's part of it. You signed up for it.

I can do the little things, play defense, dive on the floor to get loose balls, things like that.

I just want a ring. Bottom line.

I think I can run a team pretty well.

I try to be two or three steps ahead of my guy, my opponent.

In Boston, the year we won the championship, guys were so much different in age. You don't have the same lives off the court.

That's part of the NBA. It's a lot of ups and downs.

Who doesn't want the ball? Everyone wants the ball; everyone wants to score.

I am who I am. I'm unique. I'm my own self.

People have been counting me out since Day One.

You don't do charity work for publicity. Well, I know I don't. Everybody's different.

I put a lot of work in. I watch film. I study. People may knock it, but I think it's what makes me great.

You can't let emotions get involved with what the common goal is: to win. At the end of the day, that's what it's all about.

I came into the league traded. So I'm not the only person that goes through trade rumors each year.

I feel like, when I get a certain amount of minutes, and when the coaches allow me to be me on the court, I'm Rondo. There's no 'Playoff Rondo.'

I know I'm a winner.
