The best thing that ever happened to me was losing last year in the Finals. I had to change.

There are some teams and logos you see, no matter where you are in the world, and you know exactly who they are and what they mean.

I laugh and joke, but I don't get distracted very easily.

I'm not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We're not ready right now.

It all depends on how you want to define what an MVP is. I've been fortunate to win the trophy four times, but I've been the MVP of my team for a long time - just because of the way I lead and the way I approach us being professionals off the floor.

I'm not about saving franchises.

You learn from mistakes, you learn from losses, but this game doesn't put something on me where it's, 'Hey, I've finally done it. This was a big game. We won it and we have to move on.'
