Success is the result of psychologically preparing for it, prior to achieving it!

We're still getting better as a team. We're still learning how to play basketball as a team and how to win tough games.

You make your own party.

The fans are dying. We're dying.

There weren't any sports figures that I idolized because I didn't really believe in myself back then or think that I could make it here. There were some regular people in my neighborhood that I looked up to growing up but that was it.

A lot of people think that as a player, during the lockout, you just have your whole day free. It's not like that - especially for me. I wake up everyday, train in the morning from 9 a.m. to about 2 p.m. Then I have a business meeting here, have to meet this person there, it's non-stop for me.

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