The NBA is a big family, and I think of all these rookies as my brothers. I still believe I am blue collar among the All-Stars.

I don't really have anything to say. Basketball is not a game that you can play with your mouth. It needs action to prove yourself.

When I was young, we were taught not to dunk. We were taght not to stand out from the rest of the team. It's different now.

I think I'll stick to what I'm used to, my principles, and that is team Number 1 and individual Number 2.

I am a basketball player, and I would like to focus my energy on basketball. The other things, I would rather not do. It is not something I am greatly interested in, but I know it is my responsibility.

First of all, I'm not buff enough. I got pushed away from the basket. And even when I didn't, I couldn't get anyone to throw me a pass.

Others are improving very fast, and I'm not improving as fast, and that bothers me.
