Everything happens for a reason; I'm a big believer in that.

I don't know, you go through what you go through. You handle adversity, and I think it made me hungrier.

I never doubted myself. It just didn't work.

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 could play through anything. But just thinking about I have kids, longevity, I probably would have made more of a conscious effort not to hit the floor, but at the end of the day in the playoffs, you can't play that way. You just have to play and give it your all.

The fans treated me with a lot of respect, and I played as hard as possible every night. I wanted to win. I'm going to always be a competitor.

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.
