That means we are having a good year with a lot of games left. We want to continue to get better and stay healthy down the stretch.
It means a lot to be named a starter in my third year. To be named a starter, with my teammate, going to All-Star, I'm excited and happy and thank the fans for voting me in. I'm grateful for it.
That's something I'm going to play over and over again in my head and say I should have gone with the left. I got to the basket. I really wanted to go for the three; I wanted to go for the win. But once I came off (the screen) I had attacked the basket. And I got a good shot. It just wasn't meant to be because I don't miss that too often.
Guys who might not be superstars but because of their hustle, because of the little things they do, these are the guys who can really mean the difference between winning and losing.
Wherever you go, things change you. I mean, obviously moving to Miami and becoming part of the NBA has given me a different perspective on style than I had when I lived in Chicago or Milwaukee.
Success means being satisfied with what you do every day. It's being proud of the better person you are becoming.
Last year my heart was racing up until the point I got picked. This year I was more confident that after a good year people would recognize me as an All-Star. But getting the nod and being a starter, that means so much.
I knew it wasn't my night. Coach told me a halftime to keep going. It was just getting into a rhythm.
I know Alonzo was saying that on the bench over and over and over.
I kind of knew I would try to come back. I didn't know how effective I would be because I couldn't feel parts of my leg.
I'm just trying to do what I can to help this team. We'll get back into it. Other guys will get back into the flow. It's a bump in the road.
I'm just trying to do what I can to help this team.
Everybody was calling. I think everybody called every player in the league. That's history right there.
That is what I am battling right now so I am trying to do everything I can to be ready to go for our next game, so I am battling right now.
