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

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.

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

I respect our greats. I admire them.

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.

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

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.'

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.

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.

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

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

I've never been on the cover of a game. When people go into the store and see me on the cover of a game, maybe that will entice them to buy it.

I like the Raiders. That's my favorite team.

Usually, when you win the championship, you party all summer and don't work out. But when I won, I mean, I had my good times, but I used it as motivation to do it again. When you realize you can accomplish something so great, you want to do it again.

I just think it's really upsetting when you see a community just go out and burn down stores and trash cars.

I've always been a late bloomer. My body developed late. From ninth to 10th grade, I grew like 3 inches. Just kind of stretched out. I was like 6-1, grew to 6-4 in 10th grade.

People don't understand the power of love and family and strength.

I love the fact that I get to play against the Los Angeles Lakers in a Game 7 on the road.

The media in Utah is not the same as the media in New York, so that can wear on some people.

I worked at a hospital for a week. And at a golf course when I was in college at Kansas for about a week. The tips weren't good so I quit.

I listened to Tupac and a lot of Biggie Smalls.

I want to see my child grow.

I probably visualize myself, the shots I'm going to get in the game, how I'm going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team's best player, what it's going to take out of me, the whole aspect of the game.

Mostly I play sports games - football and basketball. 'Inside Drive' and 'NFL Fever.'
