They continue to criticize me for my outside shooting, but I continue to make outside shots.

To all the positions, I just bring the determination to win. Me being an unselfish player, I think that can carry on to my teammates. When you have one of the best players on the court being unselfish, I think that transfers to the other players.

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 was so used to going out and winning state championships and playing in the postseason.

I can't worry about what other people say.

I love sharing the ball with my teammates. I see a lot of things before my teammates see them.

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.
