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

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.

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.

Oh, I think, watching Magic, him being one of my... I'm one of his biggest fans, and just trying to emulate what he did, going out on the playground, and also playing with older guys.

I have had some bad shooting games but that doesn't stop me from getting the ball to my teammates

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.

My job is not to scream and yell, my job is to cheer you and be positive. If you miss four shots, I'm still going to pass to you.
