All that other stuff, best record and all of that, doesn't mean anything. This is the time we've been waiting for since we lost the last game last year.

The good thing about us is, we feel we've got five superstars out there. Everybody says we don't have a superstar. No, we've got five superstars.

I am able to use different strengths that I am good at, like back-door cuts, ... It's just a lot of moving without the ball, and that's something that I have always done pretty well.

I come from a place where this doesn't happen. To be here is unbelievable because when everyone tells you, you can't do something, you can't do something, you can't do something, and you get the opportunity to be in the NBA, to win a championship, and now, to be an All-Star, it's unbelievable.

Hopefully, I can talk to someone. $15,000? I don't understand that one. ... I don't think that was fair.

I don't think I needed to be ejected and I don't know why I was. Maybe at that point (referee Dan Crawford) was just trying to clean up the game.

He's just a great coach, we love him to death. We just wished him luck.

His energy was off the hook, ... He rebounded. He had five blocked shots in the first quarter. We just fed off that.

I think my goal was just to come out and have fun. Don't worry about playing in front of friends and family. Just do what got us there - playing together.

I guess we have to get used to it. In the exhibition season, it seems like they (referees) are trying to make a statement.
