I'm one of those players that I think I can do what's asked of me. Whether it's putting the ball in the basket, rebounding the ball, diving on the floor, making other people better, I'm willing to do anything just to win.

When I'm on the court, it's like I'm in heaven.

I've always felt that I'm a natural leader.

People have always told me, 'Yo, you're too unselfish. Shoot more.'

People tell me that I'm always smilin' on the court. I don't think about it. I just get emotional out there.

You've got to play with pride and guts.

Sometimes I still don't know if I'm prepared to go through the entire season, dealing with the different personalities, the crowds, the politics.
