To miss one year is a long time. I've never been in this situation before, and I'm getting as much information as I can about my foot, to see what's the best for me and best for the Rockets.

If you're going to learn a new language, you can't try to be perfect. You'll stop yourself from talking. You just have to let go.

Sometimes it can feel like there are a billion people on my shoulders.

Everybody is improving but I am improving slowly, which seemingly widens our distance.

Hometown is like my quilts. Sometimes when you are in sweet dreams, you don't feel it's comfortable.

The journalists are poking me all the time. It's impossible for me to stop even I want to.
