You know, I'm just 6'9" and 260. And just so happen to be very good at playing the game of basketball.

Maybe my pain was my motivation.

Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe. How committed are you to winning? How committed are you to being a good friend? To being trustworthy? To being successful? How committed are you to being a good father, a good teammate, a good role model? There's that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?

I was supposed to take the ball out. I told coach, 'There's no way I'm taking the ball out, unless I can shoot it over the backboard and it goes in. I told him, 'Have somebody else take the ball out, give me the ball, and everybody get out of the way.'

Basketball is my passion, I love it. But my family and friends mean everything to me. That's what's important. I need my phone so I can keep in contact with them at all times.

If I didn't believe in this team and this organization and the direction that we're headed, I wouldn't have signed the extension.

Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.
