Whether that is me retiring, staying here or going somewhere else, it will be on my terms. I've made it to this point, and I felt great that I have the choice to make it for myself.

There is an entire culture out there built around siphoning money from an athlete, and the young men and women who come through just feed the machine.

When the effort is in question, the ball goes in different directions and the ball doesn't always bounce your way. When you're playing in the home of the NBA champions, it isn't going to be easy.

I dream about winning a championship, where everybody is hooting and hollering for you. The whole world is drawn to the NBA Finals.

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