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

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

I used to collect hockey cards. It was like Vegas at my school. You'd go to school with your box of cards, and at recess and lunchtime there were all these games we'd play.

I try to only worry about things I have control over.

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

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.

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