The last couple of practices, all we've been doing is a lot of defensive things. We've been going over some drills that make all of us have to communicate.

Sometimes when I hear commentating, it's sickening. People who never played the game, people who never played in the league have an opinion, and that's all it is. You are here to educate the watcher or the viewer. Sometimes it comes off as personal. I don't ever want to come off like that. My opinion is my opinion about someone.

So you're dealing with a coach, and you're dealing with a guy who's actually experienced NBA basketball from a player's perspective and actually goes about it that way.

The competition, the naysayers, the owners who talk too much. The people who don't think a 36-year-old can do what I do. I take a lot of pride in my craft, I work really hard at my craft everyday, and I'm a true professional.

This ain't the Girl Scouts. This ain't the Boy Scouts. This is the NBA.

There are a lot of things that frustrate me. I get frustrated when I have to wait at a red light.

Coaching takes patience. I'm more enthused when teaching players who want it versus when I have to.
