The rim is looking bigger and bigger every game.

The game isn't over till the clock says zero.

I probably visualize myself, the shots I'm going to get in the game, how I'm going to play defense, what we have to do to stop the other team's best player, what it's going to take out of me, the whole aspect of the game.

Once people start making comparisons to a player of the past, they want you to be that player. I try to go out there and create my own image, my own style, my own type of game. Right now I can't even think of one guy I've been compared to.

The rim is looking bigger and bigger every game.

I like the Raiders. That's my favorite team.

At the beginning of the season, I set my goal to see if I can lead the league in scoring, because I feel I have that kind of ability. A lot of guys say it, but it's not really in their grasp. I feel that's really in my grasp.

I think the most important thing I work on is just my mental approach to every day, my mental approach to the game. How to come in each and every day focused, doing what I want to do, I think that's just the biggest issue.

'A Christmas Story' is my favorite Christmas movie.

A lot of people that I've had around me have been my closest friends since junior high, back when we were exchanging each other's clothes, staying at each other's houses. That was before I had anything.

I always wanted a little brother because I felt like the little brother had to do everything.

I majored in criminal justice. I like 'CSI,' all that, '24.' I watch those shows on A&E, if I watch TV. I don't really watch TV shows.

I worked at a hospital for a week. And at a golf course when I was in college at Kansas for about a week. The tips weren't good so I quit.

I'm a competitive person. I love the game of basketball. I'm a gym rat.

I've always been a late bloomer. My body developed late. From ninth to 10th grade, I grew like 3 inches. Just kind of stretched out. I was like 6-1, grew to 6-4 in 10th grade.

I've never been in a gang. None of my friends have been in a gang. I've never rolled around with big entourages.

In college, I probably lost a total of about 11 games, and then I came to the Celtics and in my first three weeks we went on a nine-game losing streak.

Just soaking up the history of the Boston Celtics has been the best thing that's happened to me as a player.

Life changes when you have a child, when you have your own family. You become more careful about what you do. You're not going to be out late, going out to clubs, hanging out with your friends. You're going to be at home, taking care of your daughter, playing with her.

My brother was a huge Charles Barkley fan - my brother went to Miami. He played power forward, and he always used to tell me stories about Barkley and college. And I watched Barkley growing up. I loved what he brought to the game. His toughness and just his attitude, being as strong he was.

My favorite quarterback is Donovan McNabb. I think he's a complete quarterback. I love the way he can scramble and throw on the run. He can do it all. He can control a game.

The Celtics don't celebrate anything but championships.

There's a line that separates having confidence and being conceited. I don't cross that line, but I have a lot of confidence in myself.

Ubuntu is about a community coming together to help one another.

When you give a team life, give a team confidence, anything can happen in a Game 7.

When you gotta go through something tough, I've always been a guy that just wants to get it out of the way.

When you win a championship, it is a great feeling, and you really don't want that feeling to go away.

You know coaches. Sometimes they ramble.

Playoff basketball ... you've got to treat every possession like it's your last.

When you change your perspective towards this world, you can find happiness everywhere.

Injuries are not only a physical question, which is the most important thing, of course, but also a question of your mind. If you're thinking: 'I'm not going to make it', 'I can't cope', 'it hurts', 'it's never going to get better', then it won't.

Planning is bringing the future into the present so that you can do something about it now.

I don't like planning, because it robs me of freedom, so I'd like a 24 hours that was full of surprises.

I don't think that we’re meant to understand it all the time. I think that sometimes we just have to have faith.

As soon as you get off stage, that's the most dangerous time for a singer to kiss people because your vocal chords are receptive to any kind of germ.

A cup of gourmet coffee shared with a friend is happiness tasted and time well spent.

A fraudulent intent, however carefully concealed at the outset, will generally, in the end, betray itself.

Better to have an enemy who slaps you in the face than a friend who stabs you in the back.

People don't appreciate their intestines until something goes wrong. But I always hope that people gain a little appreciation for their guts.

Play has been man's most useful preoccupation.

So when the Quran is recited, Then listen to it and pay attention that you may receive mercy.

Water is my drink.

Summer means happy times and good sunshine. It means going to the beach, going to Disneyland, having fun.

At one point, in one of the kitchens where I worked, I was the only American pastry cook. They treated me poorly. 'You're stupid. You're American. You don't get it.' They'd speak French all day. At one point, my boss said to me, 'You learn French or get out right away.'

Its Arsenal 0 - Everton 1, and the longer it stays like that the more you've got to fancy Everton.

I was really, really wild in my early twenties and a bit self-destructive.

Violence in Mexico has its origins in the lack of development and corruption.

All I've done is run fast. I don't see why people should make much fuss about that.

I have good looking kids. Thank goodness my wife cheats on me.
