There were hard days but I never felt sorry for myself.

I've modeled my game after Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.

I want to hold onto that because I think every kid when they dream about playing basketball, they don't dream about being a role player. They dream about being the man. I have that position in Toronto and to give that up and go somewhere else to be an addition would kinda defeat the purpose of my dreams.

You can't worry about what people say, but... People always harp on athletes being selfish individualists.

I want to bring that childlike approach every night - just go out there and have fun. I want to play like a kid, for fun but with intensity. Play to win.

I want to go get a stop on defense so James can do it again. It was a big spurt for him. That made then get out of their game plan and play him closer. But when he does that, we want to make sure we capitalize and get timely stops. And that's what got us right back in the game.

When you're not in the game, you can watch. Certain players have mannerisms, and they do the same things repetitiously.
