good national role star team
This is the right way. This is good because on a national team you can't have 12 star players. You need role players. Can't play with 12 star players. Too many want the ball, too many want to play.

I don't care. I want to work for the team, and that's it. I don't think about improved player, sixth man. If my teammates know I'm improved, that's enough.

Shoot 25 balls in one minute? It's impossible for me. It's not my game. I know that.

everybody five games last lost pressure thinking today work
I think everybody was thinking about that -- we've lost a lot of games at the end of the games. I think sometimes we have pressure in the last five minutes, and today it happened, too. But we need to work with that because we always have pressure.
