It gets bigger every time you go over. In China, there was Yao Ming stuff everywhere. I'm just fortunate to have a good-looking face to where they recognize me.
No one was there. Some teammates, huh? I guess they didn't want to get their lip busted like the gentleman I busted. Sorry for that sir.
The NBA is fairy tale and real life mixed together.
As I grew up, I played in sandals. I played in flip-flops all the time back in the day. That's why I didn't really care about spraining my ankles. When I first started in the NBA, I loved low-cuts. I can play (in them), because I used to grow up playing in flip-flops all the time.

I really don't like talking about money. All I can say is that the Good Lord must have wanted me to have it.
If you're going to have to beg them to play, it's not going to work.
In college, the fans cheer the whole game, from start to finish. In the NBA it's really laid back.
There's no reason to play in the NBA if you don't believe you can win it all.
I've won a championship on every level except the NBA. It's frustrating to have not gotten that in the first two years.
