I know when I need to be pushing it full speed; I know when I got to probe and allow the flow to open up, because, at the end of the day, on the basketball court, something's going to open up.
-
Four-men aren't used to picking up guys pushing the ball in transition. Let alone, somebody getting the rebound and just busting.
-
I'm not going to worry about proving people wrong. My goal isn't to prove people wrong. You can't worry about what other people say.
-
I'm blessed. I get to play the game I love for a living and make a lot of money doing it.
-
If you've got to second-guess talking to a teammate, what you have will never work.
-
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'm human, and I make mistakes.
-
When you're 250 pounds, you can push more people around, but you can't move as fast or jump as high.
-
I can see things before they happen on the court.
-
I think complacency is what you allow it to be.
-
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.

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.
-
Be remembered for the right things.
-
I'm blessed, and... all the time, I sit and think, 'Wow.'
-
I may not be the most athletic, but I understand the game.
-
I can't worry about techs. I've got to play my game.
-
There are certain guys in the league that get their rhythm off their dribble.
-
Everything can't be sweet. Everything can't be peaches and cream.
-
I'm not as athletic as some guys, so I have to counter that with a tremendous brain that thinks the game.
-
I wouldn't necessarily say I'm arrogant. I'm just confident.
-
What's my status? I'm just a guy from Saginaw, Michigan, trying to make it. But you know, pretty nice crib.
-
At the end of the day, before basketball, before anything, I'm a man.
-
I can throw all the good passes I want, but if they don't make shots, it's not an assist.
-
So many times, I watch games and think, 'Man, why is that guy trying to score like that? He can't do it.' But he's been told his whole life, 'You have to go get 40 if you want to be one of the top dogs.' It's my goal to build a lane where you can be a top dog, and you don't gotta go get that 40. You can go get four and still be a top dog.
