Be doers of the word and not hearers only, deluding yourselves.

I love showcasing my talents - not only to my hometown fans and my own team but to the world.

Well, of course you question it, especially when you get to this point. I always look at it would I rather not make the playoffs or lose in The Finals? I don't know. I don't know. I've missed the playoffs twice. I lost in The Finals four times. I'm almost starting to be like I'd rather not even make the playoffs than to lose in The Finals. It would hurt a lot easier if I just didn't make the playoffs and I didn't have a shot at it.

They jumped on us. They were the aggressor. They had us on our heels from the beginning.

People who say "It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all" never felt a broken heart.

Once you get on the playing field it's not about whether you're liked or not liked. All that matters is to play at a high level and do whatever it takes to help your team win. That's what it's about.

There are always people always asking you for something. But I feel like I have a foundation. I have a supporting cast where it doesn't bother me too much.
