Sometimes it's difficult maintaining my friendships, but to me, it's well worth it.

You have the management team, coaching staff, film staff, analytics team, training staff and playing team, and you're trying to manage all that and it's overwhelming. And then you have the media responsibilities. I don't know that I help at all, but I would think my value would be to help provide more of a clear-headed view from the outside. It's not like I have huge opinions, but I do have my point of view and perspective.

I have definitely gone through my ups and downs and faced my adversity and my nay-sayers, but managed to do all right. It is a pretty classic tale.

We play a different style than other teams. It's effective, but different. We run the floor, block shots and create turnovers.

It feels great to have my hard work pay off, especially when the fans made it hard for me.

If every basketball player worked as hard as I did, I'd be out of a job

We were excited to win, staying undefeated is just the icing.
