I'm just playing basketball. I just want to be a great player. That's it. That's all I'm thinking about. If the other stuff comes, it comes, but I'm just fortunate to play in the NBA Finals and just to play basketball, period.

I just try to play every game like it's Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

I want the kids to know that it's not a myth that somebody from their city plays and wins in the NBA. I just want to influence them to work hard and do whatever they want to do in life, whether it's to be a basketball player or scientist... if they believe in themselves, they can do anything.

It was a blessing just to play one NBA basketball game.

Be a player; don't play yourself. And don't play basketball. That's not your sport, Jeb Bush.

If you like playing basketball, you play basketball. If you like playing golf, you play golf.
