I'm just trying to be the best player that I can be.

If somebody attacks me with words, I'm always like, Do you know me? Do you know me that well? Let's have a beer and talk about it.

I can motivate myself fine just by wanting to be my best.

I wanted to take on a little bit more of a leadership role. I'm getting older and things are coming to me more and I have to take responsibility for that.

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

If you want to win, you have to sacrifice and do what makes the team work most efficiently.

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