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.

It feels great to have my hard work pay off, especially when the fans made it hard for me.

I feel very comfortable going at full speed.

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.

It's cool to challenge myself to learn new things as opposed to going to play basketball in the park for millionth time.

I know that to be a good player, you have to stay healthy, and you have to be as athletic as you can possibly be.

I don't care what other people say. I fight every day to be the best player I can.
