I'm not playing for the All-Star Game, I'm playing to win games.

Obviously you look at "Magic" (Ervin Johnson) and Michael (Jordan) and you learn from them growing up, but I think you are just born with it from day one.

I'm not playing for the All-Star Game, I'm playing to win games.

I wanted to become one of the best guards in the NBA. In order to accomplish that, I had to increase the intensity of my workouts.

It is all about confidence: 90% mental and 10% physical, that is what basketball is. I live by that and it seems to be working.

I know the next level for me is to make my teammates better, to win a championship, and to where they have confidence that they can score 20 or 15 points a night and be consistent.

When I was in grade school I was always the guy that got 20 or 18 points. Even back then, I would lead my team in scoring.
