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.

Shooting is a lost art, but nobody wants to see nobody shoot all day. You want to see somebody break somebody off the dribble. That's today game, and that's what I try to do.

I have two definitions of success - one on the basketball court and one in my personal life. In basketball, success means making my teammates better, winning basketball games and winning championships. In my personal life, success means being a good father to my sons and raising them to be strong men; taking care of my family and being a good friend; and using my influence to make a difference in the community.

I've learned great lessons from my parents for things on the court and off. I really look up to them.

My upbringing involves individuals who helped me along the way. I don't think I would be here today without that support.

I've struggled in my life. I've had hard times, but I kept pressing on.

Players are ready to play, We're not on strike. It's a lockout.
