The time when there is no one there to feel sorry for you or to cheer for you is when a player is made.

When our assists lead to baskets, that's us playing our best, and we begin knocking down shots.

Competition is great for everyone. Sports can teach you so much at an early age, including camaraderie and sportsmanship. Competition aspect is something I've always been big on - I always wanted to compete in something. It was swimming for many years, then I moved on to basketball. I had to find a way to channel my competitive energy, so I'm lucky that basketball worked out for me.

I don't usually set personal goals.

I would have loved to play against Bill Russell. He was such a force.

I know I'm the guy others will lean on.

They say I have no emotions, but I'm excited even if you can't see it.

I don't try to change myself to impress anybody. I'm just who I am.

I'm going to try to fit in where I can and play the way I can.
