Back then, when I was a kid, I watched Vince Carter every now and then.
You've got to want to play defence. Nobody really wants to play defence. It's boring. It sucks. You don't get the flashiness, the scores, the dunks. But you've got to have it.
I wanted to be a complete player, and I felt like the dunks started to overshadow other parts of my game.
I think a lot of people have the idea that all I do is dunk and all I do is make layups.
I love running the floor and doing crazy dunks. I think I bring a lot of enthusiasm to the team.
Just like I'm the king on the microphone, so is Dr. J and Moses Malone I like slam dunks, take me to the hoop my favorite play is the alley-oop I like the pick-and-roll, I like the give-and-go Cause it's basketball, uh, Mister Kurtis Blow.
I don't want to be remembered for dunks, even though that will probably happen.
I know that people know me for my dunks, but if you've seen me play you know that's just one part of my game.
If I could palm a ball I probably could have more dunks than I have in my career, but I still can get the job done.
Oh, if I played in the All-Star game, I'm playing defense - hard for the first quarter. And I want to get a couple of dunks, too, like I do in a regular game.
I let the dunks speak for themselves.
Jealous punks can't stop my dunks.
I was known for a lot of dunks, but my first big dunk really came here in New York. I had some others back then, but my first major dunk came against the Knicks and Kenny 'Sky' Walker. So, you know, New York has a lot of meaning to me.
You have to remember that you only want to use your dunks at the right time. If you do it at the right time, you can wake up everybody and change the whole momentum of the game. It can get the crowd up, get your teammates up. It can wake up yourself, too, if you're not shooting well.
I want to do for rebounds what Michael Jordan did for dunks.
