When you've never had something, you want it worse than anything.
I know there's a lot of pressure, but I'm just going to go out and play my game.
It's easier for me to let the game just come to me.
Look, I won in high school, I won a national championship in college, I want to win one in the NBA. But winning a gold medal, I don't think anything can top that.
I'm laid back, I take my time, get the job done. Lebron is high flying, dunking, passing the ball well. He's getting the job done, too. But we're different.
I think I'll always want to improve my defense. That's something that can always be better. Not saying it's bad now, just something you should always work on.
I think I am a smarter player now.
You make your own party.
I'm me. I'm just out there being myself. I like having fun. But at the same time, I bring everybody together. So I'm really -- or I try to be -- like the glue of the team.
Family time is the best time.
I've been at the funerals of a lot of people in my neighborhood. Sometimes when I sit back and relax, I think about that and just blank out.
I know I'm not a selfish player. People around me know I'm not a selfish player. I do everything I can to make people around me understand I'm not a selfish player.
I'm really into fashion.
I smile all the time, even when I'm in a bad mood. I always try to keep a smile on my face.
I'm a Baltimore Ravens fan and I'm a Baltimore Orioles fan. I have them tattooed on me.
It will work out, somehow. That's a hell of a duo right there, Marbury, Crawford and Houston.
As a kid I couldn't afford any Jordans, so I didn't get my first pair until my last year of high school. They were Air Jordan 9s.
I understand the NBA and the role I play on my team. I know that I have to play a leadership role and do whatever I have to do to win.
I kind of knew Cleveland was going to get the No. 1 pick. I think they rigged it. No, don't quote me on that.
Man, I think the sky is the limit for this team.
These close games that we're losing, the teams are not beating us. We're kind of beating ourselves.
I have my own identity as a player.
I got an owner that looks out for me. You can't beat that.

I want to win. I don't care about the money.
I can't worry about what other people are saying about me. At the end of the day, it's just their opinions, but if I said I don't hear it, or it doesn't bother me a little bit, I'd be lying to you.
I can't palm a basketball.
I don't put pressure on myself. When I put pressure on myself, then I just play bad. When I play bad, my team plays bad.
I'm not at the point in my career where I want to rebuild.
I want to win the game. I dont worry about taking over the game unless I have to.
