I havent won on my birthday since college, so its good to play hard and get a win by double figures.
We didnt come out with any energy. We know were not good enough to let the game come to us. We have to come with high energy, play hard team basketball and do everything the right way. Coming into the season, we all knew we didnt have too much room for error.
I can motivate myself fine just by wanting to be my best.
I had a turnover and three missed shots down the stretch. I just have to make sure I calm my nerves.
I'm a winner. Dwyane's a winner. We're going to bring winning to Miami.
Leaders set the tone for their peers. Peers look up to them and say, 'They're doing it, so I'm doing it.'
I love getting in the open floor and running.
Just listen to your instincts. Don't talk to someone or start a relationship out of pity.
The stereotype of a leader is one who talks and peps people up and things like that, but in actuality you have to listen to your teammates.
I'm real conscious about money still. That's how I came up and you can't shake that.
I think it's (the national team selection) a little bigger.
It is insignificant if you don't win the game.
I'm sure that's what they're trying to do, they're trying to do something. All I can do is hope and pray and give my little two cents to the guys upstairs and they're going to make their decision.
I really just don?t go into the gym thinking about my status or my stature. That is one of those things that you might say you want, but once it happens ? you can?t stand it.
