I'm scared of needles.
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.
The Miami Heat floor is great, but a lot of them are not.
Yeah, I play a lot of point guard. LeBron plays a lot of point guard. A lot of people are thinking too much on positions.
As long as you put on a jersey, no matter what kind of jersey it is, as long as you're supporting the game of basketball, I enjoy it.
One night I'm going to have a big night scoring; some nights I'm going to have a big night doing other things. Just doing whatever it takes to win the ballgame, not necessarily sitting up here worrying about scoring 30 points.
We play the whole summer. I do think guys should be compensated. Just like I think college players should be compensated as well. Unfortunately, it's not there. But I think it should be something, you know, there for it.
I don't think the world focuses on the positive things enough.
My life is bigger than basketball.
He's going to learn the hard way. Hopefully he changes his mentality quick.
We go through life so fast and we never really get to enjoy moments. It seems like they go past us...Tonight I just wanted to take a minute, a moment and soak it in and be a kid from Robbins Illinois and be a kid from Marquette University.
My job, my whole life, I've always had that kind of doubter, people have always doubted me. And I don't know how I would succeed without it. So I welcome it, and it gives me a challenge, and I will see if I can live up to my challenge.
I've stuck by being modest, honest and humble, because I think you'll get more appreciated that way and we all want to be appreciated in this world.
The locker room has to be right. We've got to be patient to build this team.
