Being in attack mode is something I try to bring into every single game, and that's what's making me be so successful.
I just want to thank God for everything he has done in my life.
My dream was to be in the NBA. I wasn't really focused on being a star player on a team. I just wanted to make it to the NBA. I've been blessed for the opportunities to be in the Finals, been in the playoffs ever since I've been in the NBA.
This is a business and everything happens for a reason. I'm going to just to play hard, try to play hard and do whatever it takes to win.
If you have a dream, chase it no matter what it takes.
The kind of support we have in Oklahoma City, it's the best in the NBA. Phenomenal. Beards in the crowd, the whole nine. The city is really something special.
Now, I'm back to my old ways: Needing to be the leader, needing to score.
I have a collection of 50-plus snapback hats.
I heard a lot of those things. I heard that I was greedy; that I didn't care about winning; heard the questioning of my loyalty. And I'm thinking: 'Of course I want to win. I've been winning my entire life.'
I've never had much notoriety. It's fine with me.
I'm not the fastest guy or the quickest guy.
