Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.

If I didn't believe in this team and this organization and the direction that we're headed, I wouldn't have signed the extension.

I hope I can help guys coming out of high school, if they need advice. I know the ins and outs of everything.

The man above has given me some unbelievable abilities to play the game of basketball. I just try to take advantage of it every night. I got the trust of my teammates and my coaching staff to go in there and let it go.

That team across the way, you tip your hat to them. They did a great job. It showed in these Finals.

But then I lock back in and I start thinking about how fun it is to compete during the playoffs and the first round, the second round, and Eastern Conference Finals. If I'm lucky enough to get here again, it will be fun to do it.

There's that moment every morning when you look in the mirror: Are you committed, or are you not?
