There's one thing everyone should understand: I like my character.

You can love me or you can hate me.

I couldn't care less if the guy I'm guarding has HIV. I'm going to slam him anyway.

Don't let what other people think decide who you are.

I go out there and get my eyes gouged, my nose busted, my body slammed. I love the pain of the game.

The people at the top of the league think they need to rein me in so I don't become another Michael Jordan, somebody they aren't able to mold and shape and make their puppet.

I'm starting to see players copy what I do. I'm flattered.

Everybody's talking trash these days, so why not keep quiet?

I don't trust what this life has given me.
