I'm surrounded by nothing but great people. I've been blessed with that, so really, I've got no choice but to be an all-around good person.

The time when there is no one there to feel sorry for you or to cheer for you is when a player is made.

I enjoy jokes, smiling, and making people smile. I may be a little different, but that's OK, who wants to be normal anyway?

I'm not going anywhere. You can print that wherever you want to. I'm here and I'm a Spur for life.

The only nickname I've ever had is Merlin, like the magician. I don't know why.

I just wanted to win on the road, honestly. I don't remember the road ever being this tough.

I'm not really a flashy guy anywhere else - I don't dress flashy or anything else - but I like to keep my cars nice, and I like to customize them. I can do things a little flashier and a little faster, and with a little bit more thought. This is kind of the release part of basketball.

I like R&B. I listen to music, not singers.

I'm not serious most of the time.

I believed in what I was. I didn't believe that would translate into any of the five championships. But I knew that I could affect the game.

I'm just going to play whatever game is in front of me.

If I have my kids, I drive something with four doors. If I don't have my kids, I can drive whatever I want.

I didn't have my first car until after the end of my senior year. I got a Yukon Sport.

I am going to walk away when I'm ready to walk away. Not because of a win or a loss.

When you have to stop and think about things is when they go wrong.

I think competitiveness is taken in a different way by different people. I'm not a yeller and a screamer, a jumper and a pusher.

Like every other car guy, I've watched 'The Fast and the Furious,' and I want to go out and race and drift and all the crazy stuff. Another one of my favorites is 'Cobra.' That's where I got my love for the Merc, where he had the one that had the license plate that said 'AWSOM 50.'

I'm not better when I force shots. I'm going to take them as they come. They are really sagging in there, trying to take me out of the game. It's my job to find guys. I want to be aggressive and take my shots, but I can't force them.

At this point, if I were to psychoanalyze myself, I'd have to say I am a clown, cleverly disguised as a regular person.
