I didn't want to be cut, but it made me a better person and a better player.

If I ever have a chance to become a top-notch guy on a top team, I think that's more valuable than anything else.

You can't always be the top player, but you can always contribute. I just want to win...that's what matters.

You guys will write what you want to write, people will say what they want to say. I can't control any of that. All I can control is how I play. I'm trying to be the best player I can be.

I didn't want to be cut, but it made me a better person and a better player.

My goal is to be at the top of my game every night.

The hype that follows me doesn't bug me. I expect more out of myself than anyone else does, that's for sure.
