I think it was wishful thinking of me to dream of being an NBA player. And once I made the NBA I dreamed of being an All-Star, but I never dreamed of being an MVP.

We've been playing ugly. Without all of our bodies, we've been kicking it all over the shop, but fortunately we've been able to make the big buckets and rely on our defense for once.

It's cool to challenge myself to learn new things as opposed to going to play basketball in the park for millionth time.

Our centers spread the floor, shoot the three and block shots. We can play pick and pop.

I am thrilled to be an Olympian, and I think that although we will be underdogs we can beat many teams and will be a surprise in Sydney.

I lick my fingers because I don't like when my hands get slick. Licking my fingers helps me keep a good grip on the ball.

My goal is to eliminate positions where I can't function.
