When I think of my career, I can't help but think of the kid with his ball, falling in love.

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

Leadership is possible in all different ways, and in all different areas of life. Whether it is with friends or family, I expect them to set a great example for me, and hopefully I will do the same for them. And that is all part of being a leader.

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.

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

The playoffs are the playoffs. You just play who is put in front of you.

My approach has been that a player with determination and a willingness to work harder than anyone else can accomplish anything. It's a simple formula. I've found it works.
