I grew up at a park, and everybody was always for themselves. I was the smallest, so I had to find a way to get my own rebounds, and it always translated throughout my whole career.

Any chance a rookie gets to go play in the playoffs, that should be a boost going into summer league. That should be a boost for the rest of your career. That's something that a lot of rookies can't say they did.

Man, just to think back, like, I was one of the craziest D. Wade fans ever.

You want to make as much money as you can and enjoy playing this game as much as you can, but it has a lot to do with how you take care of yourself.

I don't want to waste anyone's time or money. I want to give people some truth and positive heart lift.

My taxes alone keep eight lawyers busy, and when I finally get my money, it's only one-third of what I earn. With the kids in school and my other responsibilities, I get no change back from the first million dollars. The money flows out like water.

It's amazing how often campaigners in rich countries think poor people don't get backache.

That is one of the sides of Los Angeles that I really like as people may have their big careers but there is one side to Hollywood that is always open to taking risks - as long as it doesn’t include risking too much money.
