My role is to make sure we're moving in the right direction, getting points, rebounds, steals, assists and providing leadership.

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 don't have to hear that criticism, that idotic criticism anymore.

I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success.

I'm just right down the middle, man, ... It doesn't matter to me. I'd love him (Phil Jackson) as a coach. It doesn't matter to me. If they want him here, he'll be here. If he wants to come, he'll come, he'll coach and we'll go from there.

I think that game is a testament to what happens when you put no ceiling to what you're capable of doing.

It's just a matter of getting those legs back.
