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

Whenever there is a big game and people don't think I can do it, I always play my hardest, and now it has become a part of me.

You know, 10 years ago I never thought I'd be in this position. It's a dream and I don't even know if I dreamed this big.

Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind.

It's about taking advantage of the opportunities you have right now, and right now we're in a position where you call somebody and they're willing to pick up and take the call because they're a fan, you have to take advantage of that and have a chance to capitalize on your ideas.

I've stuck by being modest, honest and humble, because I think you'll get more appreciated that way and we all want to be appreciated in this world.

The funny thing is, last summer we were golfing together, me, him and Alonzo Mourning. I don't know how to golf, but it's an unbelievable opportunity to go out and golf with one of the greats. And he's out there making fun of my swing - I can't hit the ball - and I'm getting frustrated because I'm a competitor. So Alonzo pulled me aside and said, 'Man, you're getting the chance to golf with Bill Russell. How many people can say they've done that?' And I looked at him and said, 'You know what? You're right.'
