It's different from being 21 and you think there's endless amount of opportunities. At 33, the ending is much, much closer.

I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. No matter what the injury - unless it's completely debilitating - I'm going to be the same player I've always been. I'll figure it out. I'll make some tweaks, some changes, but I'm still coming.

I'm playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition-that's what I've always wanted.

I wear the number 10 Jersey for the US National Team in honour of the Greatest athlete I have ever seen: Messi.

In an individual sport, yes, you have to win titles. Baseball's different. But basketball, hockey? One person can control the tempo of a game, can completely alter the momentum of a series. There's a lot of great individual talent.

I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.

I wouldn't say I'm a ball hog. I'm a shooter.
