God could care less whether I can shoot a jump shot.

Inside the first 20 to 25 games of the season, we were losing these games, getting beat by two and three points. Over the last 10 games, it seems like we're starting to win these games and putting some good things together.

I've argued this with a lot of people in my life. When people say God blessed me with a beautiful jump shot, it really pisses me off. I tell those people, 'Don't undermine the work I've put in every day.' Not some days. Every day. Ask anyone who has been on a team with me who shoots the most. Go back to Seattle and Milwaukee and ask them. The answer is me -- not because it's a competition, but because that's how I prepare.

Everything I know now . . . the pitfalls, the highs and lows, everything . . . it taught me and made stronger.

I always say if the house I live in is comfortable, and I have all the amenities I need, then what more can you ask for?

My nature is to keep things inside. In time, I'll be comfortable stepping up when I think the team could use my input.

It comes down to consistency-if you want to be a great shooter, you have to shoot the same way every time.
