I'm a high-risk taker on the court in the sense of trying to squeeze things in there.

Every team that I've gone to has had trouble winning games. I guess that's what I've been put on this earth to do, to fix it.

...and that's what separates the professionals from the taxpayers

There are many really good teams in our conference this season. Miami, Indiana and Detroit will be our fiercest opponents this year. But we just have to focus on our game and be patient with the realistic hope that we'll be on top after all is said and done.

I think that realistically we can shoot for the title this year. If we stay healthy and be persistent throughout the season, I think we have good chance to go all the way.

Yeah, I'm excited about it, my teammates are telling me to look at the basket, so that's what I'm trying to do.

When I was a little kid I used to play with guys twice my age, so, I was the last one picked, so if I picked I knew that I had to get the ball to the scorer if I wanted to stay on the court, so that was pretty much my job.
