Every year it's been people saying I can't do this or I can't do that. Y'all will see something different, I can tell you that.

The new guys bring energy, intensity and emotion. The last couple games, they showed what they can bring to the team.

The NBAs a Fortune 500 company. Thats how you look at it. And all the other Fortune 500 companies out there in the world, you dont see their CEOs and COOs going to work with white tees and baggy clothes and stuff like that. So I have to take that same approach.

I never envisioned myself playing for the U.S. Olympic team -- growing up, I never envisioned playing in the NBA, to be real with you. I never envisioned that type of stuff. So this is like a dream that I never had come true. It's like I'm a part of what's really going on. It's still very hard for me to believe that I am really going to be a part of the biggest thing in the whole entire world.

At this point in my career I'm not concerned about the money, it's about winning. Nothing else even matters.

The fans are dying. We're dying.

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.
