It's an offensive foul if you go into the defender's body, but if I fade and a guy runs into my leg, it's a foul.
When I shoot, I'm square with the rim.
I think working so hard in Portland to earn the right to have it be my team and to have my own team over the years and try to play at a high level, that was hard-earned.
I want to win a ring, get better and try to learn.
I can see that when I talk, guys listen.
I feel like, I go out and play hard every day and I'm going to practice every day, I'm going to block shots.
I feel bad saying this but, I can't eat that because I'm on a diet. So, if I'm eating breakfast tacos, I'm not going to play well.
I knew I wasn't soft. I knew I could play on this level and I knew that being in the paint was just a physical position that I wasn't strong enough for. I wanted to get myself strong enough where I could be dominant down there.
Since I've gotten stronger, I can hold a guy off and get a rebound.
I see myself as a pretty mobile big man.
I miss playing basketball and the city of Portland and the Rose Garden.
I've had to fight through a lot of adversity, but I just kept fighting.
When I got to the NBA, picking and popping came so natural for me.
I'm actually a better passer out of the post than I am in pick-and-rolls.
I don't like change.
When I'm going good, there's not one guy who won't give me the ball.
I came from poverty and a tough household where we didn't have enough money to really eat, to where I am now. I know it was God giving me the guidance.
If you believe in God, you shouldn't worry. I know I'm one of His children and that He will stand by me.
The Spurs really are a family.
I feel that teams with players who are very close end up winning.
