Shooting is a lost art, but nobody wants to see nobody shoot all day. You want to see somebody break somebody off the dribble. That’s today game, and that’s what I try to do.
Never give up and take nothing for granted in life.
From the start to the end it was ugly and a painful game to watch.
I got a rhythm going. The guys just did a good job of putting the ball in my hands.
You’ve got to respect the game and you’ve got to respect what the people that have played have done for the game.
I’m a firm believer in God and I don’t think he’d want me acting a certain way.
The locker room has to be right. We’ve got to be patient to build this team.
I was probably a terrible husband, but I pride myself on being a good dad.
I don’t think the world focuses on the positive things enough.
I would have to name two people – my parents. I’ve seen them come through adversity and work hard to create the best life for me and my siblings. Although I don’t remember them together as a couple, I remember the love they had for their children.
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.
He’s going to learn the hard way. Hopefully he changes his mentality quick.
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.
I live by the motto, ‘To whom much is given, much is required.’ I know that people are counting on me. That’s why I have to keep working hard.
Wherever you go, things change you. I mean, obviously moving to Miami and becoming part of the NBA has given me a different perspective on style than I had when I lived in Chicago or Milwaukee.
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.
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.
I understand being the villain is what people like. People play to that. They want to know about the villain.
I look forward to the challenge, but most importantly, I look forward to the opportunity to do what hasn’t been done that often, in a sense. Michael Jordan obviously has done it, but that’s it.
I am very happy to be here in the NBA.
