I have as much fun as anybody I know.

I know the strengths and weaknesses of my teammates. I make my passing decisions accordingly

I was never supposed to play in college, let alone the NBA, so I always feel like I have something to prove. No one ever expected me to be here, so that feeling of being an underdog is ingrained in me. It's a natural part of my consciousness.

Besides P.E., geography was my best class in high school. I was in this gifted class when I was younger, and it was wicked!

My free time at home is usually spent emailing, listening to music, reading and talking on the phone. I wish I was on the phone less, but I have been fortunate to stay in touch with so many incredible friends.

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

What happened in the past is just that, the past. Champion or not.
