If we lose games, and I don't score a lot, they gonna say I'm not scoring enough.

I went from the projects to a real house. It was a big difference.

This is the thing you dream about when you're a kid, even before getting into the league.

I gave everything I had to basketball. The passion is still there, but the desire to play is not. It was a great ride.

Guys is supposed to be able to be original and dress like how they want to dress. The NBA can't dress no grown man.

I dressed like the guys who I grew up with. I looked like the guys I grew up with.

I don't watch college basketball.

I didn't take constructive criticism the way I should have. When I finally caught up to that, that's when I went to being the MVP.

People and what they say don't bother me like they used to. When I was younger, I really couldn't take it because I couldn't understand where the criticism was coming from.

You don't want to hear about how much money I donate to the Boys and Girls Clubs of America or to AIDS awareness or to give out scholarships. You don't want to hear about that.

In 2001 we didn't have all the talent in the world, we just had me on offense and just a bunch of tough ass dudes, and a great coach in Larry Brown.

I make all that money and it ain't enough. I gotta make more to help all the people around me.

I play every game like it's my last game. All that matters is that you go out there and play every game as if it was your last.

When I was a little kid I used to go on the playground and say: today I will shoot like Bird, pass like Magic, jump like Mike, be quick like Zeke. I am thankful to them, since without seeing them do things they did, I wouldn't be in the NBA.

I wanna thank Biggie Smalls, Redman, Jadakiss, Tupac and Michael Jackson for being my theme music throughout my career.

I have no regrets on anything. People ask me all the time, 'Do I have any regrets?' I don't have any. If I could back and do it all over, would I change anything? No.

I gotta win games. Because if we lose games, and I score a lot, they going to say I'm scorin' too much.

A jump shot can get you a shoe deal, a big house, a supermodel, fancy cars, a bunch of yes men, a Swiss bank account. But none of these things can get you a jump shot.

I take everything I learned from the streets and put it in my NBA game.

I wasn't a point guard. I was a killer.
