As a good player in the inner city, you're always hearing people saying that you're better than you really are and that you don't have to do things like everybody else.

I say 'come with it.' I'm not expecting anything easy. You have to earn your place. That's fine with me.

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

People only know what they see on TV.

Look, I won in high school, I won a national championship in college, I want to win one in the NBA. But winning a gold medal, I don't think anything can top that.

I know there's a lot of pressure, but I'm just going to go out and play my game.

I am looking forward to continue my career in Orange & Blue and to work with Phil Jackson, a champion who builds championship teams. Madison Square Garden is the mecca of basketball and I am surrounded by the greatest fans in the world.
