I didn't want the season over so soon. Next year I will come back ready, I'm not a rookie anymore. I learned a lot starting out 1-15 and digging out of that hole. It was a tough year though.

Chris Paul has been the guy for months now, but people want to see who's that second or third guy. I think Chris Paul, he deserves it. But I think I have a shot at being runner-up if I keep doing what I've been doing.
basket bigger chris feels step stepped
When Chris went out, someone had to step up, and I stepped up to the challenge. It feels good. It feels real good. It feels like you can't be stopped. The basket feels bigger than it already is.

I've got a big chip on my shoulder. I know what all the critics said and I want to show them what I can do. I'm going to change people's minds.
