I was playing garbage minutes the first two to three weeks. There was definitely a little bit of 'what's going on?' in my prayers.

With all the media attention, all the love from the fans, I felt I needed to prove myself. Prove that I'm not a marketing tool, I'm not a ploy to improve attendance. Prove I can play in this league. But I've surrendered that to God. I'm not in a battle with what everybody else thinks anymore.

Sometimes you come up against a mountain and you end up making the mountain seem bigger than God.

In many ways, the longer I live, I understand that there are so many things outside my control. That’s why I believe faith is such a big part of the story. There are so many things that were orchestrated by God, that were put into place to make this perfect storm, that created Linsanity.

I was a big Michael Jordan fan growing up. I don't feel my game resembles his though.

It's the off-the-court spotlight in terms of having people look at you in terms of analyzing every little thing you do in your life, or having less privacy in your day-to-day activities, that's an area I need to get more accustomed to.

My best career decision was probably not giving up when I wanted to. God as well as my family and friends were there for me during my toughest times.
