My grandmother was always upbeat, a naturally happy person. I think I got that from her.
You walk in our locker room and you see Pau Gasol, you see Andrew Bynum, you see Kobe, you see Ron Artest ... we have so many players that can play.
I just try to focus on the basketball game and not get caught up in all the media.
The thing I love about the NBA game is that it's a playmaker's league.
If I put my mind to something and really want it, I'll go after it and get it.
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.
