The biggest surprise has been making the adjustment after losing a game. In the NBA you could lose tonight and you have to put that game behind you because you have another game the next night.

I'm going forward with my plans for life. I'm looking at things not only basketball-wise, but personal-wise.

I've decided to listen to my doctors and get the procedure I need on my knee. USA Basketball said I had to do what was best for me. They want me to be obviously as healthy as possible so I can continue to play this game at a high level.

Every time I look at my children, they remind me to work harder and become a better man.

Everybody was calling. I think everybody called every player in the league. Thats history right there.

I'm always telling my kids to be themselves and let their personalities show in other ways than with their mouths.

From the start to the end it was ugly and a painful game to watch.
