It seems like my whole life I've been this little Canadian kid dreaming somebody would give me a chance.

I know what I can do and what I'm able to accomplish.

You have good games, you have bad games. You have good years, you have bad years. I have always been kind of philosophical about that.

Sometimes I'm very impatient. I also feel the need to please everyone, which is unnecessary and impossible.

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.

I don't care what other people say. I fight every day to be the best player I can.

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