I try to penetrate the lane like Steve Nash, pass like Jason Kidd, and handle the ball like Allen Iverson. Remember, I said 'try to'.
I play basketball to win a championship. That championship is everything to me. And that's what gets people to buy in to your brand - being a winner.
I'm trying to avail myself of the various technologies to get the message that Washington needs to be cleaned up, that the system that's in place is not what's beneficial in the country.
It was not until I got my first job, at the University of Washington in Seattle, and began playing chess with Don Gordon, a brilliant young theorist, that I learned economic theory.
I continue to be a photographer; I have enjoyed fishing and hunting with a close friend; and have owned two ranches, first in northern California and then in the state of Washington.
My sense was that most of the elected officials in Washington - in their heart of hearts - really believe that the system can't be too bad because it produced them.
Guys who might not be superstars but because of their hustle, because of the little things they do, these are the guys who can really mean the difference between winning and losing.
Whenever there is a big game and people don't think I can do it, I always play my hardest, and now it has become a part of me.
I'm happy that I can focus on my body a little bit. I'm not happy to get surgery, but I'm happy that I can focus on getting better.
My upbringing involves individuals who helped me along the way. I don't think I would be here today without that support.
Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind.
I'm the kind of parent who asks my kids questions like, 'What would be your ideal thing to do in the summer?'
You know, 10 years ago I never thought I'd be in this position. It's a dream and I don't even know if I dreamed this big.
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.
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.
To wear a gray tweed suit, you have to be mature and confident in yourself. Some people can't pull it off.
So that was Reagan's political problem. As a rancher in California, he was an environmentalist himself. But the President of the United States doesn't control everything that happens in Washington.
Limbaugh can rightly be said to be the greatest populist expositor of conservatism in America since Reagan, and the link between the Reagan generation and the so-called Rush Babies.
Newspapers that are truly independent, like The Washington Post, can still aggressively investigate anyone or anything with no holds barred.
I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids.
I never would say a player stinks. Ever. I'll tell you their team stinks, and first of all, they know their team stinks. And the fans know their team stinks.
