When I step forward on the floor, I have the confidence that I'm the best player playing that night and that I am the most prepared at what I need to be doing.

I know what my teammates think about me, I know what my coaches think about me. I don't concern myself with what anyone thinks outside of that.

For me, I've learned that the best thing is to focus on the team you play for and yourself and what you need to do.

I hope I'm building a record of being a good team player and not just standing for my principles but being willing to work for them. I think when you do that and you work really hard, people take notice.

I'll practice as good as I can, but I know that I play even better, with the qualities I have - leadership, my ability to make something happen in games, winning.

I have a very high expectation for everything I do. And when I go out and compete, I expect myself to make every play.

While working as a team, you push yourself forward and move outside the boundaries. It's a great thing.

You know, I have a responsibility to my team that if I'm going to be on the floor, then I have to make a difference.

I know people are going to put the main focus on stopping me, so I need to learn how to make my teammates better by passing and creating opportunities for them.

I have played on many teams throughout my career, and I know when a team has the tools, and the right positive attitude towards winning.
