Growing up, Magic Johnson was my idol. He was a good example. He could always pass the ball extremely well and get his teammates involved.

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.

Hard work does pay, and you just have to continue to work, and you got two guys, when you're talking about Gary and myself, we have a God-given talent, but we worked at it and we're happy to be where we are today.

We're going to turn this team around 360 degrees.

My biggest fear had always been getting hurt, and not being able to leave the game as a player on my own terms.

I've learned a lot at home and been able to take what I've learned at home to the court.
