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

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.

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

I've taken my bumps and bruises, but you've got to be willing to get knocked down and pick yourself up. You can't get discouraged. You can't lose sight of what your goals are.

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

I always find a couple of hecklers... I'll kinda look at them, stare at 'em, and let them know I can't be stopped.

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.
