I am thrilled to be an Olympian, and I think that although we will be underdogs we can beat many teams and will be a surprise in Sydney.

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

I love basketball and I'm committed to it, but if I have to lock up my spirit because of basketball, it ain't worth it.

I have as much fun as anybody I know.

Having a goal in your mind helps you manifest it in some way.

People have always doubted whether I was good enough to play this game at this level. I thought I was, and I thought I could be. What other people thought was really always irrelevant to me.

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.
