What people see on court is another side of me; it's not me.

The Black Mamba collection of watches is me: It is my alter ego, so to speak. As I mentioned before, it is sharp, cutting edge and sleek which are characteristics I try to apply when I'm out there on the basketball court.

It never bothered me when people would say, 'You only win championships because you're playing with Shaq.' It bothered me when he said it.

The people who truly know me know what I'm like. There have been people who try to say things that aren't fair, and I check them. And then they don't like me because I checked them.

Everything negative - pressure, challenges - is all an opportunity for me to rise.

I can't relate to lazy people. We don't speak the same language. I don't understand you. I don't want to understand you.
