I smile all the time, even when I'm in a bad mood. I always try to keep a smile on my face.
You've got to have fun on the court. If you ain't having fun, then basketball ain't fun.
I don't put pressure on myself. When I put pressure on myself, then I just play bad. When I play bad, my team plays bad.
To go out there and play and have fun and hopefully win a championship. That's my goal.
Leadership is something I was born with.
We're still getting better as a team. We're still learning how to play basketball as a team and how to win tough games.
I got an owner that looks out for me. You can't beat that.
Every year it's been people saying I can't do this or I can't do that. Y'all will see something different, I can tell you that.
I have my own identity as a player.
Man, I think the sky is the limit for this team.
I understand the NBA and the role I play on my team. I know that I have to play a leadership role and do whatever I have to do to win.
It will work out, somehow. That's a hell of a duo right there, Marbury, Crawford and Houston.
I think going to college for that one year was probable the best thing I have ever done.
I'm a classical type of guy. Whatever's out at that point in time, I like it. I just put my own twist on it, and we go from there.
