I know how the game is played, and I'm always working on it.
I wanted to take on a little bit more of a leadership role. I'm getting older and things are coming to me more and I have to take responsibility for that.
Money is not an issue to me. My mother always tells me, money, it comes and it goes.
My goal is to be able to play wherever my team needs me.
I know that sacrifices have to be made to play with good teams.
If you want to win, you have to sacrifice and do what makes the team work most efficiently.
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'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.
