I'm under a super microscope. I've got my friends to keep me cool. As long as you've got friends, you've got nothing to worry about.

You learn from mistakes, you learn from losses, but this game doesn't put something on me where it's, 'Hey, I've finally done it. This was a big game. We won it and we have to move on.'

Maybe my pain was my motivation.

That's all our team is about. If we stop people, we're the most athletic team in this whole tournament and we can get out and get easy buckets.

I've always been a leader. I've always kind of been the tallest person on the team when I was younger but always kind of the smartest. I was ahead of my time. I wasn't always the oldest, I kind of was the youngest on the team, but, I kind of knew what to do at times.

Working with all of these kids is great. It doesn't get any better than this, to come down and inspire kids who want to play the game of basketball and put smiles on their faces.

It's a humbling experience for me to be in this position.

This is a job and we want to have fun. But it's a job and we should look like we're going to work.

I was blessed with a God-given talent and my mother raised me the right way.
