I've been in Philadelphia 10 years, man. I knew it was going to be a challenge, mentally. I always thought life would come to an end if I ever left Philadelphia. And I feel like a newborn. Being in Denver it's just a better situation for me. And I'm just happy that I feel like I got an opportunity where I can win basketball games here.

I take everything I learned from the streets and put it in my NBA game.

There's nothing less than that. I don't care about just going to the playoffs; I've been to the playoffs before.

I never took the game for granted as far as not having to work on what I needed to do to accomplish all of the things that I wanted to accomplish.

This is the thing you dream about when you're a kid, even before getting into the league.

I don't put pressure on myself. I just compete.

I love you Philadelphia. I want to thank you for accepting me, and letting me be me and make this my home forever.
