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

I'm not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver. We're not ready right now.

Some times your best effort just isn't good enough.

I'm going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best life I can with it.

I never rushed the fact that I wanted to be in the NBA or rushed the fact, you know, they asked me about the NBA. I always (unintelligible) back to the fact that I just love playing with my teammates.

Every practice, every film session, every game will help our chemistry.

I need music. It's like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what's going on - bad games, press, whatever!
