Man, I'm not trying to be important; I just go out and play.

I told my mom I would graduate. I owe that much to her and myself.

Denver is home to me, and to be recognized for my achievements in the sports community here is a great honor.

I want to be a free agent. I think everybody in the NBA dreams to be a free agent at least one time in their career. It's like you have an evaluation period. It's like if I'm in the gym and I have all the coaches, all the owners, all the GMs come into the gym and just evaluate everything I do. So yes, I want that experience.

When you've never had something, you want it worse than anything.

I'm a classical type of guy. Whatever's out at that point in time, I like it. I just put my own twist on it, and we go from there.

We all need that sometimes, to get re-sparked again. Sometimes it's different influences and different motivations; sometimes we've got to go and get back to the basics.
