I feel like nobody can stop me off the dribble. At crunch time, we're looking for somebody to score and I definitely want to be the guy who has the ball in his hands.

Can't pick and choose when you're gonna be a leader. If you're gonna be it - gotta do it every day.

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

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.

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

Whatever my team needs - that's what I do.
