A lot of people don't know this: when I was young, I wanted to be a garbage man. I asked my mom, and she said they made good money, and it was steady work.

Personally, I think I've got split personalities, and I may need a psychiatrist. Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Seriously. I'm serious about this.

I want to be there for my daughter - when she falls, to pick her up. When she needs help with homework.

I want to see my child grow.

If somebody said, 'You're going to be the Number 1 pick; you're going to have a great team around you all these years'? It would've been too easy.

I've always been the Rodney Dangerfield of this game. Maybe it was meant to be that way, but that always drove me.

Old-school guys, they don't need to see the doctor, the massage therapist. We'd come in when we was 21; we'd go right to the court and start shooting.

When you're not winning in your last couple of years, it gets frustrating because where's your motivation?

People probably won't even remember I played for the Clippers.

What people don't understand is the summertime is motivation - how willing you're willing to work for the upcoming season - and I think, as older players, once you see that drive fall off in the summer, then I think it's time to hang it up.
