I used to get the question in Houston which was like 'What would you do if you had Shaq?' My answer was 'I would give Shaq the ball 100 times a game.'

I think the best way to win in the NBA is to take your talent and figure out how to utilize them the best.

We were trying to build the best team around our talents in Houston.

The Mavericks are a smart organization.

I'd love to be with the Rockets for life.

As only one team out of 30 gets to win, you cannot play it safe.

The great players understand that you need to play with other great players to win the title.

If you have an intuition of something but no hard evidence to back it up, you might kind of sort of go about putting that intuition into practice, because there's still some uncertainty if it's right or wrong.

We don't want to incent a guy to do things that hurt the team. They all maximize what they think they're being paid for.

Most players are like golfers. You don't want them swinging while they're thinking.
