I am an avid NBA fan.
The NBA is a crazy place.
I am very happy to be here in the NBA.
I won at every level - all the way since I started playing the game of basketball at nine. I've won at every level, won championships at every level. And, you know, it won't be fulfilled until I win at the highest level.
Every kid who just played basketball knew about the Boston Celtics. They're one of the few teams who were always on national TV along with the Lakers.
I watch a lot of NBA basketball, especially with the playoffs.
I was one of the best players in the NBA.
When I played in the NBA for 12 years, Seattle had some of the best fans in the NBA.
Every time I'd ever stepped on a basketball court, AAU, middle school, high school, I always thought about the NBA.
My dream was to be in the NBA. I wasn't really focused on being a star player on a team. I just wanted to make it to the NBA. I've been blessed for the opportunities to be in the Finals, been in the playoffs ever since I've been in the NBA.
I was excited about going to the Lakers because they are probably the biggest brand in basketball.
There are a lot of guys who play in the NBA. There aren't a lot of guys who have a chance to win a gold medal, too.
That's part of the NBA. It's a lot of ups and downs.
I'm a huge NBA fan and have been for a really long time.
I have a casual interest in the NBA.
Obviously, I'm not chasing the NBA.
I like to watch the NBA.
That's the thing about the NBA; there's another game.
I always was intrigued by the N.B.A.
Phil took us to the finals three out of the five years and you want to fire him and want to bring in Mike Krzyzewski? Come on, man. That's like being married to J-Lo, then dropping J-Lo for a girl that's 5-10, 480 (pounds).
The NBA is my history.
There's three banners I want to hang - ACC regular championship, ACC tournament championship, and, of course, the national championship.
My impression is that the NBA always precluded anything else.
It's really tough in the NBA.
I loved the NBA. I really did.
