You know, once you have been through a certain amount of things in life, you definitely grow more comfortable with yourself.

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

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

I love being part of a team, any team. Not just playing, but the camaraderie, the whole thing. It's just what I get off on.

I have a tendency, especially when I'm playing with great players, to try and get them the ball.

I use a lot of balance training and functional training. Basically it's where you add an element of instability to a regular exercise. So whether it's on the physioball or the Bosu ball or just balancing on one leg, I try to incorporate an instable plane and/or movement to the exercise, so the body's doing two or more movements.

The toughest opponents to defend are Iverson, Marbury and Payton. They are all very talented and can shoot at anytime from anywhere.
