We're focusing on what we need to do. The only attention we're thinking about is giving each other the attention that we need as a team, and making sure that everyone in here knows how they important they are to our success.
People are still trying to figure out who I am. Most people just say I play the game the right way.
Every morning when I wake and every night when I go to sleep, I'm thinking about what I can do to become a better father and a better person.
The locker room has to be right. We've got to be patient to build this team.
My kids motivate me to keep moving forward. My kids are my everything.
Being a leader is one thing I've never felt comfortable with. It's not my nature.
Being a father is an everyday challenge. It goes on and on.
It's always a dream to be on the cover, it's one of the things an athlete always aspires to do, to be on the cover of a videogame, but I never thought I would get to do it this quick.
I'm going forward with my plans for life. I'm looking at things not only basketball-wise, but personal-wise.
I took it upon myself to be more aggressive. I wanted the ball. Coach gave me the ball and I just tried to attack (and) make plays, just take it to the rim and see what happens.
The Miami Heat floor is great, but a lot of them are not.
I'm a playmaker, and I'm going to score. At the end of the day, my job is to put the ball in the basket.
My upbringing involves individuals who helped me along the way. I don't think I would be here today without that support.
Most days I am in public. If I go to the store, with social media, I'm in public. It might as well be a press conference.
