I know that sacrifices have to be made to play with good teams.

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

You don't have to appreciate me - I hope you underestimate me. That way, when I have a good game, it'll hit you even harder.

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

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

Leaders set the tone for their peers. Peers look up to them and say, 'They're doing it, so I'm doing it.'

I havent won on my birthday since college, so its good to play hard and get a win by double figures.
