“I think a lot of people have the idea that all I do is dunk and all I do is make layups.”
“Sometimes in the moment when I'm doing a press conference, one of my favorite things is to watch reporters.”
“I've never really worried about being called soft or people thinking I'm soft. If anybody wants to step and take that challenge, I'm more than happy - off the court - because I don't want to get suspended.”
“My hair is brown with a tinge of red. The lights in NBA arenas are extremely bright, and that makes my hair look red.”
“My everyday go-to style is a lot more casual. I like to wear suits to games, but during the day, going to the gym, I'm in my workout gear. Then if I'm going to lunch meetings, I like to keep it somewhat casual - short-sleeved button-ups, jeans, and sneakers.”
“I love L.A. You definitely can't beat the weather, and being close to the beach is nice. It's a good town.”
“If you have less games, less back-to-backs, the product's better. The fans will appreciate it more. You see those college guys playing so hard, but they play 36 games in the same amount of time we play 82 almost.”
“It's just cool to try to leave behind something or improve something from how you left it.”
“I don't ever enjoy time away from the game. But it does make you appreciate what you have.”
“I've put myself in the best possible positions through my daily training and my recovery processes and my offseason regimen and preparation. I break down when I have these freak injuries happen, when the hard work is basically thrown out.”
“If you get behind in first grade, then you're behind every grade from then on.”
“There's times in games where I feel like I can manipulate and control the game by doing a lot of things. And then there's times where I feel like I'm not inside the flow of the game.”
“That's the good thing about sports - it's very clear-cut. You either win, or you don't.”
“I know that if I'm going to take myself to where I want to go as an athlete and a person, I have to look at all my training options.”
“I want a long and healthy career.”
“College was such a pivotal time for me. It's a time when you have so much growth, and you kind of can choose one of many different paths.”
“Oklahoma City's not real small; it's got a good amount of the people.”
“I think everybody's ideal is to have a wonderful career with one franchise, like Kobe and Tim Duncan.”
“It's not something that I dwell on. I've never really had a problem with being soft.”
“I don't go into a situation trying to knock somebody over. It's just the way I play: physical.”
