In New York, they like winners. They don't like second place.

I'm just trying to take what the defense gives me.

I went through that phase where I wanted to almost be different than my brother. Just kind of argued a little louder or if there was a curfew, I always came in a little later than I was supposed to. If it was set for 12, I would come in at 12:45. I would test the limits a little. There was no real reason and I grew out of it, eventually.

One thing I've learned about the NBA is that you can have one good year, but you've always got to be progressing and working and making yourself better.

Be committed to whatever you're doing. That's something I've taken to heart and tried to do with whatever activities I take up.

I've always been a player and a person who wanted to be the best at whatever he did.

When I came to Ole Miss, everyone expected me to bring the program back to its glory days. I didn't want to put that kind of pressure on myself.
