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

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

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.

The NBA is changing so much. It's not like when I came up, with that old-school mentality that practice really mattered.

I always say I wish I was in my prime matching up against LeBron. Let's see how many championships he would have won then.

The '80s, '90s, and early 2000s genes of competitive fire are dead and gone.

It's just something I've always loved to do: talk basketball. It's easy for me to give my perspective, my analyst approach to it, because even when I played, I would watch film, talk about the game.

I'm a basketball junkie and a real historian of the game, so for me to get a chance to express it and give my perspective on a national stage, I'm really enjoying it.

I've got three beautiful kids that wear me out after I get home from practice. I think that's a good thing so I'm able to get my rest.

If I had to single one guy out who is the most difficult player to guard in the league, it would have to be Carmelo.

Kobe is one of the best scorers in NBA history, but I don't have as much trouble with him in the post as I do with Carmelo.

LeBron is a great post-up player, but if you get him to settle for the jumper on some nights, you might be able to slow him down if his shot is off.

It's crazy how people just don't care sometimes about the kids they have.
