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

I want to be in the best winning situation. I don't want to be around anybody who's just interested in playing out the season and then going home for the summer.

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.

I think if I had one year of college, I'd have done better with the mental part [of the NBA].

Austin had a concussion tonight. That's the way it goes for us. We get one back, we lose one. Or lose two. We've had the most difficult time the last two years just keeping a full roster. Hopefully at some point at the end of the tunnel some good things can happen for the Indiana Pacers.

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

We shouldn't even get paid for this game. I'm not trying to take anything away from the Bobcats, they played a heck of a game, but we feel like we are at another level. I felt like we were the expansion team tonight. I'm thoroughly embarrassed.
