When you play in the NBA, everybody wants to play in the All-Star Game. I really want to.

After 18 NBA years, it's hard to believe I'll be playing in each arena for the last time.

My goal is to the best player in the NBA. That's what I'm focusing on each and every day.

My mentality's always the same, whether it's summer league, D-League, NBA, wherever it is.

I always had to be there for my family. I think that helped me a lot to adjust to the NBA.

Promise yourself that you will talk health, happiness, and prosperity as often as possible.

I know why girls go and have their nails done so often and have spa days. It feels awesome.

The thing about the NBA, any pro sport, is, guys don't know how to take care of their body.

As I grew older, it wasn't just to be in the NBA. The dream was to be successful in the NBA.

Everyone said that the NBA could not possibly make it because it had too many black players.

All time faves would be 'Smash TV,' 'NHL Hockey,' 'Grand Theft Autos,' 'NBA Lives,' 'Sonic.'

I know the strengths and weaknesses of my teammates. I make my passing decisions accordingly

Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you.

The NBA is the single most progressive, inclusive, open-minded sports league in the country.

I don't fit into the mold of the NBA man, and I think I've been punished financially for it.

My philosophy of defense is to keep the pressure on an opponent until you get to his emotions

It will work out, somehow. That's a hell of a duo right there, Marbury, Crawford and Houston.

All I wanted to do is coach in the NBA. I didn't want anything to do with college basketball.

I'm here to shine a bright light. I'm not here to be a guy of death. I just like 'KD' better.

I'm playing the guys who are going to fight. If you're not into this, I'm going to someone else

It was a steppingstone. The NBA, for me, was preparation for me to do something someplace else.

I'm in the NBA and I won a championship. I had some great things happen, but I'm not satisfied.

Admit to and make yourself accountable for mistakes. How can you improve if you're never wrong?

I see kids today trying to do the things I did, and it makes me feel like I've come a long way.
