All the support from all my friends, All my family over the years, I appreciate it.

I'm not a guy that's going to brag or feel like I'm better than the group.

Nick, You know, The first guy I met when I first got to Seattle, As an eighteen year old, You took me in. You believed in me from the beginning. You knew that I had potential. And every single day I know I could look at you And know that you respect me As a man, As a player, And you gonna ride with me to the end. I thank you.

If I continue to just get to the playoffs every year, I guess you could say I arrived, but right now I'm just trying to find my way.

I'm like a chameleon. I adapt to my situation. It's very slowed down here. I like it that way. I'm a guy that's very reserved, quiet and shy myself.

I want to be a champion.

Me as a person, I'm not the president of the NBPA (National Basketball Players Association). I don't even know what to say. I'm not like this perfect, buttoned-up, suit-and-tie guy.
