We love playing together and we love adversity. You know, back-to-back, the two best teams in the East.

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

My ideal day would be to get a good work out in, listen to music, talk to my family and friends on the phone, read and go to a good movie.

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.

My closest friends in the league are Dirk Nowitzki and Rex Chapman. Although I think Michael Finley and I will be friends forever.

The truth is I'm a bit old school. For me, it would be hard to put on a Lakers jersey. That's just the way it is.

The crowd gives us so much energy and we are able to really feed off of it. Hitting those shots and having the crowd go crazy helps boost our confidence. We love our fans.
