When I first came in the NBA League you were slotted into a position and you did what you were slotted to do and there wasn't much room to expand your role. Today's game with the offensive schemes and the defensive schemes, it really allows to have a lot more creativity as a basketball player.

I've always thought that pressure is trying to feed your family, trying to make a mortgage. We play a game...And this is an amazing game.

Basketball is at its best when you have athletes in space making plays. It's the same for soccer, you have great athletes in space making plays and that's when the game becomes beautiful. You have spacing and skill and coaching. It's all synergetic. You don't have to be a basketball fan to appreciate that. You can be a person who appreciates movement. It's almost like a ballet at that point.

I don't complain about playing time. My job is to play so well the coach can't sit me.

Interchangeability and versatility unlocks so many styles of play for your team. It's not the end all be all, but it helps you handle adversity so much better. It presents so many different matchup problems for the other team because they have to worry about so many different things. You can have long and athletic guys but if they're dummies then you're in trouble. What the Warriors have is amazing versatility, but also versatility in their basketball IQ.

I'll save that for Mrs. Battier.
