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

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

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.

Every player, every coach doesn't always see eye to eye.

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.

I always get up for every game, but this game is especially big. It's a do-or-die thing. This could be (decide) whoever wins the regular-season championship.

Coach showed he believed in me. So I had to believe in myself.
