If I don't believe it, then they don't need me on the court. I've just got to believe that in my heart.

I play every game like it's my last game. All that matters is that you go out there and play every game as if it was your last.

I've always said, just go ask my teammates if you want to know about me. Go ask the guys that I've played with. Don't ask or get information about me from people who are not in the locker room or not around me all of the time. Then you'll get legit answers.

If that many people recognize how hard I go every night and what I put into my game, to make myself and my team better, it means a lot to mean. I'm fortunate; I'm blessed to be in the situation that I'm in right now.

I gave everything I had to basketball. The passion is still there but the desire to play is not. It was a great ride.

Believe me, I am not even that brave enough to miss that many practices.

I want to return to the NBA this season, and help any team that wants me, in any capacity that they feel that I can help. I'm disappointed.
