Nobody had faith in me when I got here except my team. That's what carried me through all the transition problems and adjustments and everything.

I want to continue to expand my game a little more, build my body and work on staying strong so I can play the way I've been playing, and holding my ground the way I've been holding my ground.

If our minds and hearts are into it, we can be a heck of a team. We can beat anybody.

When it comes to playoff time, I pull the energy and the motivation.

I try to look at what KG does, what Tim Duncan does, what Amare Stoudamire does ... I compare and evaluate myself with them.

I just need to get more aggressive and let my teammates feel all that energy and all that emotion.

I may not be the most physical player, that's not my nature. But I am a competitor and I play as hard as I can.
