As long as you can find a place to develop as an all-round player, then you're doing great.

That's why we all play the game. You want to be a player; you want to be out there to play.

Money isn't something I play for. I want to compete. I want to win.

Coming in, I wanted to be a great player, and right now at the beginning of my career, I'm showing some slight sunshine that I can be the player I want.

I'm the type of player I am.

I'm just playing basketball. I just want to be a great player. That's it. That's all I'm thinking about. If the other stuff comes, it comes, but I'm just fortunate to play in the NBA Finals and just to play basketball, period.

For me, the money isn't a big issue. I'm at the end of my career and I'm just happy to play.

I'm not a great player, but I'm a damn good one.

I just try to be the player I am.
