I hate letting my teammates down. I know I'm not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don't feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.

Every night on the court I give my all, and if I'm not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.

You have to be able to accept failure to get better.

Just because we are back home, don't get comfortable. Have that same uptight feeling like it's just us against everyone.

I didn't think we'd get to this point that we're at now, but I was ready to lead If we got to this point.

I never get too high on my stardom or what I can do.

To be honest, the play that was drawn up, I scratched it. I just told coach, 'Give me the ball.' We're either going to go to overtime or I'm going to win it for us. It was that simple.
