Four-men aren't used to picking up guys pushing the ball in transition. Let alone, somebody getting the rebound and just busting.
-
I know what I'm capable of, and I try to go out and prove that.
-
I just go out and play my game. Just making sure I keep doing those little things, like playing with toughness, that's just me.
-
Everyone wonders why I talk junk, but I was doomed from the beginning.
-
When you're 250 pounds, you can push more people around, but you can't move as fast or jump as high.
-
You learn from adversity more than anything because it allows you to see so much. It really allows you to see things in a different way.
-
A guy who's not a champion can't talk too much about championships, can he?
-
My whole life, I've guarded guys bigger than me.
-
That's one of my strengths, that I can adjust, and I can play with anyone.
-
I'm human, and I make mistakes.
-
I can see things before they happen on the court.

Bogut - I wouldn't be the defender I am without Bogut. He taught me a ton. Angles. How to guard the post. You name it, he taught me a ton.

If you've got to second-guess talking to a teammate, what you have will never work.
-
I wouldn't necessarily say I'm arrogant. I'm just confident.
-
I have the mindset of a mid-level guy or a minimum guy. My path here wasn't expected: my path wasn't that I was going to the NBA and making $16 million a year. So I identify more with those guys, and I want to be a voice for them. I want to help them elevate their status in the league. That's my goal.
-
I can't worry about techs. I've got to play my game.
-
My fire is my gift and my curse. I harness it 95% of the time, but the 5% I don't, it works against me.
-
Everything can't be sweet. Everything can't be peaches and cream.
-
I've been pretty broke my entire life. I'm not going to live that same life, but I'm going to keep those same principles.
-
I may not be the most athletic, but I understand the game.
-
I'm not as athletic as some guys, so I have to counter that with a tremendous brain that thinks the game.
-
I can throw all the good passes I want, but if they don't make shots, it's not an assist.
-
What's my status? I'm just a guy from Saginaw, Michigan, trying to make it. But you know, pretty nice crib.
-
It's the way of life in Saginaw. If you're not tough, you don't survive.
