Everybody wants to talk about NBA players being selfish and arrogant and individuals. But what you saw today was a team bonding and facing adversity and coming out with a big win.

If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail.

I've been watching Messi for some time now, and his ability to decide games and keep possession of the ball is amazing.

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

As far as carrying the torch for the years to come, I don't know. I just want to be the best basketball player I can be.

I'm focused on the task that lies ahead for us.

I was probably born a scorer, but I was made a winner. Whatever works, whatever wins championships, wins games, that's what I do.
