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.

Shaq is such a load. He's so big and strong, but it's possible to play well against him.

You can't cry yourself to sleep every night because people from a distance hate you. So you gotta do with it what you can, and if that means using it as motivation, then that's what you do.

I got a beautiful wife and beautiful, healthy children, and that's really all you can ask for.

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

I've got a beautiful wife and a beautiful family.

A layup or two early will help your confidence.

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

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

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.

You pay attention to detail. You try to win every time. You play tough. And when you play the right way and be accountable to each other, you're going to have success and enjoy the game that much more.

You earn playing time on the practice floor.
