I would never want to be selected to a team just because I am going to set a record. It's critical to me to earn my way.

I want to be there for the team.

I want to make sure I don't interfere with the success of that team next year. I don't see any way I could go to practice like most of 'em do, and not hurt the team. I'd go nuts if I tried doing that.

You shouldn't just work on your jump shot. You should work on being a better person, a better teammate, and a better friend.

I am too much of a team member to be separated from my team.

I don't want to jump through hoops for people.

Teams are always hitting me in the gut, trying to grab me when I jump and stuff like that. But I expect it.

What I don't want to do is just play for the sake of playing.

I just want to fit in and win games for my team.

I'm not trying to get back on a team, but I have tried to stay in shape just in case a team needs a point guard. A championship team. I wouldn't go to any other team.
