The NBA has the best point guards in the world, so it is important that I come ready to play every night.

Nothing is black-and-white, except for winning and losing, and maybe that’s why people gravitate to that so much.

You should always want your coach to be critical. It gives you an opportunity to learn and to overcome adversity

Anytime you play a finalist it's going to be a challenge.

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.

What really excited me at the end was the challenge of being the best I can be and prolonging my best level and playing against the best players in the world. But now that I don't have the opportunity to play against the best players in the world when it counts, in front of fans, it doesn't excite me as much.

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.
