For the most part I try to just stay focused not on my play but on our team.

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.

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

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.

My best memories are because I was on teams I love - even going back to being a kid. Not just in the NBA.

You should be able to voice your opinion and respect the voice of the other side. You should be willing to educate yourself and know what it is you're dealing with.

I think it was wishful thinking of me to dream of being an NBA player. And once I made the NBA I dreamed of being an All-Star, but I never dreamed of being an MVP.
