They're playing very well, probably the best basketball in the league right now. We're going to their house where they are even tougher and we haven't been that great on the road. So we're up for one heck of a challenge, and it will be a great time for it.
He did what he usually does. He affects shots around the basket ... He came out and played with a lot of energy.
When our assists lead to baskets, that's us playing our best, and we begin knocking down shots.
When I'm away from basketball, I'm the biggest kid. I do a good job of keeping myself sane. But on the other hand, I'm more of a solitary guy, glad to be left alone.
Competition is great for everyone. Sports can teach you so much at an early age, including camaraderie and sportsmanship. Competition aspect is something I've always been big on - I always wanted to compete in something. It was swimming for many years, then I moved on to basketball. I had to find a way to channel my competitive energy, so I'm lucky that basketball worked out for me.
I'm surrounded by nothing but great people. I've been blessed with that, so really, I've got no choice but to be an all-around good person.
I don't usually set personal goals.
I would have loved to play against Bill Russell. He was such a force.
I know I'm the guy others will lean on.
They say I have no emotions, but I'm excited even if you can't see it.
I don't try to change myself to impress anybody. I'm just who I am.
I'm going to try to fit in where I can and play the way I can.
I've never gotten too high or too low. It only messes you up.
Standing on the court and holding up that trophy - it's so great you want to keep doing it over and over again.
