Each time one of those (milestones) happens you appreciate it more because you know when you look back how much effort went it. I have been really blessed to be in two great situations in Portland and the last seven in Sacramento.

Ronnie hasn't been trying to force the issue, he's playing under control. We know he can make shots and guard people, and he has a great work ethic. I think he has a great chance to stick in this league for a long time.
