It's a huge, huge pressure that so many people depend on you. The type of player I am and people look at me to come out and perform a certain way. Not being able to play on the biggest stage of the season, it's frustrating. One thing I wanted to do was not be frustrated about it and figure out what I can do to change and better myself on the court.

I know I'm a good person. I know I can play basketball.

If we win, I don't care if I get 20 boards or five boards.

In college you learn about college

I think blocking a shot at a crucial point of the game is the most incredible feeling.

If I can go to the U.S. Army and fight the war at 18 why can't you play basketball for 48 minutes?

To represent the United States in international competition is special recognition that not many players receive and I am really looking forward to helping USA Basketball regain its status in international basketball.
