I have my own identity as a player.

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.

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.

How can U fairly assess someone from the outside looking in ... majority of the times you will be wrong.

I'm a Baltimore Ravens fan and I'm a Baltimore Orioles fan. I have them tattooed on me.

Man, I think the sky is the limit for this team.

I think I'll always want to improve my defense. That's something that can always be better. Not saying it's bad now, just something you should always work on.
