When I'm older and my children have grown up, I would like to coach in the NBA.

I had an older brother that would beat me in everything, and then he would rub my nose in it, and that made me work even harder.

A layup or two early will help your confidence.

Well, my last year was 04-05 with the Heat, and I relaxed for a few years, and I said, 'Well, what am I going to do?' I've got to do my passion, and my passion is basketball.

It's very important to know how to dribble and pass and catch and cut at a very high level if you want to be a good basketball player.

I know I used to play basketball every day, whether it was for fun with my older brother or if it was organized basketball on teams.

I loved my time in Minnesota. I loved it so much that I lived up there until 1999.

I don't need you to love me. I don't want you to hate me, but just don't judge a book by its cover.

People don't know how awesome Minnesota is... I love it up here. And when I was playing up here, I loved every second of it, even if it was minus 20 degrees.

I think if you are a player going to Duke, you have to expect a little bit to be not liked when you go and play in opposing team's gyms. Like, when I signed with Duke out of high school, I knew it would be playing in hell where they hate you. That's what I loved about it.

You can't do something stupid at any time. If you do, you're going to get technicals or flagrant fouls, or you're going to get kicked out of the game or whatever.

For whatever reason, the people that don't appreciate Duke basketball or don't pull for Duke basketball, they have a tendency to vilify one of the players. And a lot of times, it might be a white guy. And has it happened over and over in the past? Yes.

I think every basketball player I know loves ping pong. Everyone played in on the Dream Team. I played Clyde Drexler and Chris Mullin and even David Stern once. David Stern saw I was pretty good.

I played some ping pong with the guys on the T'Wolves team. I might have been the champ on that team, too. But ping pong is a big part of my life. I grew up playing it against my brother and my father when I was young. They used to kick my behind for a long time, so I got very good at it.

I always believed him. If Coach K said the sky will be purple when you get outside, I would have believed him.

I'm very close with Brian Davis, Thomas Hill, and Marty Clark.

For me, personally, on the inside, the best moment was winning my first championship.

I'm a little embarrassed to say I'm a little bit of a soccer dad.

Every basketball thing I do now through my academy is always in a muskie state so I can work both those passions at the same time.

I pursued to have my team win as much as we could, and it doesn't happen without great teammates.

I did pursue to be a good basketball player.

When I went to work with Garinger, they were good kids and a very good team. But they had a nine-game losing streak, and you can see that they were getting down and depressed and not feeling rewards for their efforts. But when I came in there, I didn't need to teach them much about X's and O's.

Every Olympics, when I was growing up and playing basketball, my parents and I made it a point to sit down and watch the U.S.A. compete. To join that team later, and play and practice one-on-one with David Robinson, Larry Bird, Chris Mullens and all these guys I looked up to, was a dream come true.

I enjoy being mysterious. I enjoy the notoriety it brings.
