The coaches are working with me every day. And if you feel like the coach is behind you, you'll take some chances.?

People who understand basketball definitely appreciate what I bring to the table.

Even to this day, I rarely read any articles on myself. I won't watch anything on television on myself.

You don't want anybody walking into your house and taking a Gatorade out of your refrigerator, you've got to get in there and protect it.

I have great players around me. I have a great coach talking to me all the time, constantly teaching me. I feel reborn, like I'm learning every day. When I show up, I'm happy.

Defense. That' the thing I'm known for.

I play knowing that there is somebody watching me out there in the crowd that has never had the opportunity to watch a game before and it might be the only chance they ever to see one, live in person. Michael Jordan once said that in an interview, and I really took it to heart; whenever I step on the floor, I play for that person.
