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.
As I grew up, I became aware that there are people with special needs out there, and I have a real connection with them.
James Brown was one of the first artists who found four bars that he liked and played them the entire way through, and then he just added to it vocally.
Style is the most valuable asset of the modern artist. That's probably why so many styles are reported lost or stolen each year.
I've never understood why artists, who so often condescend to the cliches of their own culture, are so eager to embrace the cliches of cultures they know nothing about.
Many people decorate their homes with designer graffiti, even though most of them would probably have real graffiti scoured off the walls of their buildings.
Of course I want to take the last shot, let's be quite frank: I've been doing for nine years already, and I've made a ton of them.
I've been at the funerals of a lot of people in my neighborhood. Sometimes when I sit back and relax, I think about that and just blank out.
The big one I missed out on was 'Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.' MGM wanted me for it, and Warner Bros. wouldn't give me permission to do it.
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.
People don't realize the amount of stress you put on your body both physically and mentally from just the wear and tear of a season.
I had the opportunity at Duke to start doing things in the community, and it's something I continue to do even 20 years later.
I think the world of Dave Griffin. I worked with him in Phoenix, got to know him very well, and consider him a friend.
The accomplishments in college and even in the pros are more in my mind because you constantly see Duke on TV during basketball season. You constantly see the NBA.
A lot of the differences between people have biologic underpinnings. Now, we have a dogma of egalitarianism. Everyone's the same.
