If you really love something, you gonna do it until you can't do it no more. And that's how I feel about basketball.

I wasn't the greatest at school, so I studied basketball.

When I lost my brother, it kind of messed me up because in my city, I know everybody. I kind of felt untouchable.

There's one thing that people will never know about Tim Duncan: Tim Duncan might know more UFC moves and more fighting moves than anybody in the UFC.

Kobe can play in any league.

I've been at the bottom. I've lost loved ones, I've lost best friends, but that's part of life. I don't hide that.

At the end of the day, if you're not against racism, you're racist.

All the racial slurs I done heard. All the things I heard about my mom, and my basketball game and my kids, all this. It felt good to punch a fan one time.

There's a lot of guys that play the game of basketball for the money, for the fame.

How many people can say that they've punched a fan?

I am Port Arthur. I'm the president of Port Arthur.

I was the best basketball player, the only thing good in my hometown so everybody did everything for me.

People don't understand how it feels to be with a guy who you call your teammate and you're with more than your family during the course of a season.

My job's to play basketball. My job's not to be here to be friends with anybody.

We all know LeBron's IQ is on another planet.

Before 2 Chainz got big, he used to sleep on my couch.

I came into the NBA not looking at it as a job but the same way I did when I was playing at the Y. I was just getting a paid a lot of money to do it, that's all.

The Bay Area has become my second home since I arrived here in 2007 and I can't accurately describe how good it feels to be wanted and appreciated by an organization. The Warriors - from Chris Cohan, Robert Rowell, Chris Mullin and Coach Nelson to the last person working in the front office - have embraced me since Day One.

In San Antonio when I was asked to say other players were better than me to help their confidence so they can play better, that was the most disrespectful thing that I've ever heard from any coach in my life.

If I were LeBron, I would have gone to Chicago or I would have stayed home and showed a little more loyalty to my city and my team. But I'm not LeBron.
