I love the competition no matter at what age.

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.

There's always room for improvement. We have a nucleus that's pretty good. You want players that will help.

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

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

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 don't care what sport you're talking about. What you see with great franchises is structure - a structure that doesn't just take you from year to year, but day to day.
