Guys like Kobe and Lamar know where they should be (in the Lakers' offense), ... I'm still learning where I'm supposed to be.

We are going to pound them down low and see what kind of success we have.

Being that I didn't show up I didn't put my hands on nobody. How a teammate, a supposed friend, would go to a coach and tell him don't put me in a game, I would've done something seriously wrong to him.
