I Think Because I Am A Proven

This Is My Job And I Respect It Enough To Concentrate On It.

I Just Want To Try To Ignore The Scrutiny And All The Distractions And Just Play Hard Basketball And Let The Best Come... Improving Game By Game And Trying To Improve My Game Is What I Want To Do.

I Don't Think You Ever Want To Be Too Settled, Because Once You Become Settled, You Lose A Lot Of Your Drive. I Mean, I Am Settled Off The Court; The Business Side Of Things, The Papers, Contracts And All Of That, But There Are A Lot Things That I Need To Work On, On The Court, Like My Free-throw Shooting, Which Has Been Terrible. I Need To Work On Being More Demanding In The Post. My Teammates Are Going To Come To Me And I Just Need To Go Out There And Score In The Post, Which Will Open Up Things For Our Guards.

Concentrate On Defense Because The Offense Will Come.

I Was Struggling At Rookie Camp To Be Quite Honest With You. Basically, It Was A Week Of Being Locked Down Like In Jail For Me. I Would Say About 50 Percent Of It Was Useful. The Most Challenging Part Of It Was Off The Court. I Mean, Man We Were Just Sitting There At Times. We Had Meetings From About 10 A.m. In The Morning To About 10 At Night And You Can't Get A Workout In At All.
