I can lack communication with people. I shy away from everybody. I always want to be alone.Collection: Communication
I just put my anger and resentment into basketball. Even the stuff from my childhood.Collection: Anger
If you like Five Guys burgers, and you're in California, I was one of the people who helped bring it here.
We're humans. We live on land. Sharks live in water. So if you're swimming in the water and a shark bites you, that's called trespassing. That is called trespassing. That is not a shark attack.
I don't want to get married unless they change the marriage laws. You should have to sign a marriage contract for no more than five years, with an option to opt out.
I'm smarter than the average; I just act dumb. That's what gets people's attention; you act dumb, you get people's attention.
I think every athlete should give back to schools. I know athletes donate and have things that they give charity to, but, at the end of the day, it's the younger generation that we need to be helping.
I don't know if it's just me, but I hate going to arenas where it's 60 degrees outside, and it's 50 degrees inside.
When I was little, whenever I got out of the shower, I never wanted to touch the floor because once you touch the floor, your feet are dirty again. So in the shower, I used to put my socks on already without drying them off.
I don't play roulette, but it's funny: whenever somebody I know is going to Vegas, I'm like, 'Put it on black.'
Everything is mental, but if you just remember to stay with your same technique, you will be fine. If you stay confident, make sure you are doing the same thing over and over; the free throws will fall.
It is an honor to join the ranks of sports icons such as Muhammad Ali and Tiger Woods by being immortalized in wax at Madame Tussauds Washington, D.C.
Like the Wizards, Madame Tussauds has become a fixture in the nation's capital and one that I'm proud to be a part of.
I know it's hard when guys leave the game. They're sitting there analyzing, and they're getting itchy.
I can't take a game-winner in practice. I can't shoot free throws in practice that simulates the game. There's no crowd; there's no nothing.
When you're in there getting buckets, you're not really paying attention to who's there. You're just doing your thing.
If you have a defensive concept, you're going to play defense. If you don't have a defensive concept, and you have an offensive concept, then you're going to play offense.
40-minute game at Duke - they got soft rims - I'd probably score 84 or 85. I wouldn't pass the ball. I wouldn't even think about passing it. It would be like a 'NBA Live' or an 'NBA 2K7' game: you just shoot with one person.
Since I was small, my dad and I have always been friends. He was never really hard on me. He never really pushed me to basketball.
When I leave the NBA, I don't want my legacy to be, 'He won a championship ring.' I want my legacy to say, 'He played for the people. He gave everybody in the world hope that they can be just like him.'
I made myself into what I thought was a big-time player, and nobody in L.A. seemed to care or believe I was any good. When I started hearing I wouldn't play in college, I would just let it simmer inside me and then be like, 'Okay. That's what you think? Okay.' The number zero was the only way I could express that.
