Always people have counted me out since I got in the league. It never made me any difference. I kept myself around positive people, got a great support system and just kept at it.

We have to be mentally prepared for every team we play. If we play a team who has a big name on their chests, then we are going to come out ready. But if we play a team who doesn't have a big name or a star player, we have a hard time coming out ready.

It’s kind of like, I would say, maybe college recruiting. I’m pretty sure a lot more goes into it in the NBA. A lot more money is spent. I’ve heard stories, guys getting called right at midnight. It’s something that I haven’t experienced. I may want to go through it. I haven’t thought about it at all.

I haven't played defense in a couple years.

I just try to keep rebounding the ball as much as I can. I just go out there and do what needs to be done and don't worry about my stats.

I'm a competitor. I never doubt myself.

I was always about the team, regardless of our relationship wasn't working out or didn't work out.
