ON IF HE'S STILL A 'MINIMALIST' WHO DOESN'T OWN A CAR:

No car. I can't do it. I don't know why I can't do it. I go from Point A to Point B. I just go to practice. I go home. And this lifestyle, you're on the road all the time anyway. So we're busing somewhere or it's a cab. Of course I have means to a car, but I don't own a car still. My big purchase has been me feeling like I'm home and finally getting a house. So I'm trying to finish up on that and close on that. But that's going to be my big purchase. I don't need a car. I'd be cool with a boxcar as long as it gets me where I need to be. I'm just living the dream. I need my essential things, my shelter, food, clothes on my back, loving support. God's blessed me to continue to do something I love each and every day of playing this game of basketball. That's about all I need.

ON WHETHER WESTBROOK, KEVIN DURANT AND JAMES HARDEN COULD HAVE WORKED LONG TERM IN OKC:

I think you have to figure out the roles and how you're necessarily going to play. It probably would have had to be a little more free flowing of an offense and certain things like that. But, man, the youth of the guys at the time and just the environment and how everybody felt about each other, I can't be the one to say it wouldn't. I can't envision that it wouldn't. It was special. Because when they had it rolling, they had it rolling. And they were all happy for each other. Sometimes one basketball isn't enough, they say. But it was going to be a task for whoever, for coach Brooks, or if somebody else was brought in, just for somebody to figure out how you were going to get the ball to that many great offensive juggernauts. Because they can all fill it up. It's just you have to make them all fill like they have the opportunity to attack and the opportunity to make each other better. But, man, it was one of the best shows on earth to watch when they had it going. Fourth quarter, just coming back from 20 (down). James might run off 14 straight. Russ may go for 10 straight. At times, KD can single-handedly put 20 up in a quarter. For all of us that was there, I think we can truly show it was the best show to watch on earth. And the way they competed and the way that they were together and that they loved that the task was getting done. It didn't necessarily always matter who was getting it done. It was just when it was pure and things were free flowing, it was amazing. I didn't even play. (Laughs). A lot of people don't realize it. Like, just to see there and watch, I was in awe. It was like getting a Christmas present every day for me to watch the things that they could do and accomplish in the second halves, or just leads that they could cut, or the way that we could go from a tie game to up 20. It's hard to explain and it's hard to imagine that it no longer exists. That was something that I used to talk to my brother about all the time. They thought it was going to be forever. You really thought it was going to be forever and that the world wasn't going to be able to stop that team.
