I want my kids to have passion for life, to really have a passion for life. I think when you have a passion for something, you can overcome obstacles, if you float through life without having anything to hold on to or get you fired up emotionally and to focus on, I think it's really hard to overcome things.
If my career has somehow inspired or gained interest in kids across the country, that would be unbelievable to have that sort of impact.
It seems like my whole life I've been this little Canadian kid dreaming somebody would give me a chance.
I hope my kids learn to put themselves first.
My best memories are because I was on teams I love - even going back to being a kid. Not just in the NBA.
When I think of my career, I can't help but think of the kid with his ball, falling in love.
It would be nice if we were up 3-2. But, at least we can go to LA and let it all hang out.
Raja and Kurt are always there for us, physically and mentally. They always make it difficult for the other team and always give us a chance to win.
Besides P.E., geography was my best class in high school. I was in this gifted class when I was younger, and it was wicked!
We played pretty well tonight. They made some phenomenal shots in the fourth quarter. At some point, you've just got to congratulate them.
I thought he really was great at being in the paint, knowing when to finish, when to pump fake, when to pass. He made the right decisions. It's really difficult to guard him when he makes those decisions.
We haven't really clicked. That's frustrating. But our defense has really picked up.
We haven't played well offensively. We haven't really clicked, and that's frustrating, but at the same time our defense has really picked up, and given us an opportunity to win in all three of our losses.
Obviously, I'm going to miss Joe a lot. He wanted to try something else. What can you say? You wish him the best.
