It's frustrating - not that I expect to be the same person I was 10 years ago, but I do expect to do certain things. In all honesty, my body for the most part feels really good. But at this point of my career, I have to rely on different parts of my game, knowing how to take some short cuts when you can.
I've accomplished everything a person can accomplish on a basketball court, but I never thought about the future when I was younger. I never made plans for the next stage in my life.
There was the misconception out there that I retired after the 2008 season, but that was never the case. I wasn't done with basketball yet, and I'm still not done.
There have been players with Indian heritage, but there hasn't been a Native-American professional basketball player who became a regular for all sorts of social and political reasons.
My father was a basketball player, so I loved basketball because he did. It was a direct transference. But, more than that, basketball, in the United States at least, plays the same function that soccer does everyone else in the world. It's the sport of poverty. It's the sport born of poverty. It's the cheapest sport.
You should never want to be a one position player. If you're a real basketball player, you should be able to play any position. That's the difference between really good players and average players.
It's a different role for me, playing with the great Dwyane Wade.
I think Bush came back because Colin Powell was there. Hey, I'm the brigadier general, baby.
Pat Riley is the best coach I've ever had...
I knew Rick Pitino was going to make them play that outbreak, monkey defense. He's been doing it all his life.
It's pretty much the same; it's just that Phil was very weird with his system. This is more of the traditional system.
A friend tweeted me with 'The Big Freeze.' I don't know about that one. I've got to go home, play around with the kids and figure something out. I'll have one.
If you go around the league, anybody with the last name 'vich' is a great shooter. Radmanovic, Vujacic... all those 'iches.
I'm known as The Big Baryshnikov.
For once in my career, I won't have to hold anybody's hand and they won't have to hold mine. I'm surrounded by veterans. We had a great battle last Thursday at HealthPoint. It was something I never had before - three, four, really great players all in one pickup game.
I'm like President Bush. You may not like me, you may not respect me, but you voted me in.
I got it, I dove on the floor, he dove on my head and I hit my teeth on the ground. It was just one of my police reactions to get that criminal off me.
I think he got an incidental elbow in the face, messed up his pretty red lips a little bit. But other than that he'll be fine.
Dampier is soft. Quote it, underline it, tape it and send it to him.
He's got a ring, so I'm taking home the trophy.
It's my job to make him look good. He's a very good looking man, so it's my job to keep him looking good.
Write this: Since my boy is the coach, I'm going to try out for the Dolphins next year. Tight end.
Finally, I have someone that's like me. My other two pupils were the opposite sides of the moon. But this guy is on the same side of the moon, is on the same planet that I'm on.
I told my wife when I was rolling up, I felt like the president.
I've been an athlete that's sort of in advance; always thinking. After basketball I'd love to have my own radio show, my own TV show.
