I've got extra motivation that I won't talk about right now.

I am just happy to be part of the Nike family.

You can't be afraid to fail. It's the only way you succeed - you're not gonna succeed all the time, and I know that.

I never thought basketball was going to be my future. I just wanted to play because it gets you girls.

I'm a guy who tries to be successful in all that I do, and when you fall short, it hurts.

I don't really get involved in it, the whole thing. I understand how important this city is and what I mean to this city and what our team means to the city... but I don't get caught up into it. I just go out and play my game. I try to lead the best way I can, and if I can put my team and this franchise in a position to win the title, I'm grateful for that.

The group of guys I have... They are playing off straight motivation.
