I'm ecstatic that this contract is done. To know that I will be in Chicago for the next six years is definitely a dream.
I'm definitely feeling a lot better, a lot more comfortable out there. I feel like every time I step out there I'm going to be aggressive. I just have to be a little more aggressive and help my team out so we can get some victories. But it definitely feels good to be playing with confidence again.
The game dictates when you have to step up and make a big play. When you have the opportunity, it feels great to rise to the occasion.
These are definitely the kind of games I thought about myself having. It feels good now and I'm only going to continue to do it.
The hole we dug for ourselves, to fight back, it took everything just to get back into the game.
You could see him smiling and having fun. He was definitely more hyper today, more active ... His game is to push the ball up the court and set up guys for easy baskets. He was able to do that tonight.
I'm pretty glad nothing happened. We've started to turn a corner, and it will be interesting to see how far we can take it. It should be a fun rest of the season.
I'm just coming out aggressive. Once you have confidence, you're able to do everything out there. I think everybody right now has confidence, and we're kind of rolling together.
The only thing I wanted in free agency was an opportunity to continue to chase that dream and continue to win championships.?
My grandfather built my first hoop. It was a peach basket up against a tree, and we played in the dirt. I couldn't have been more than 6 when he put it up, and I just started playing.
The coaches are working with me every day. And if you feel like the coach is behind you, you'll take some chances.?
I'm happy to be where I am and how everything has turned out.
I have great players around me. I have a great coach talking to me all the time, constantly teaching me. I feel reborn, like I'm learning every day. When I show up, I'm happy.
Defense. That' the thing I'm known for.
