Work Harder Than Your Opponent.

I Feel As Though I've Proved Myself These Last Five Years That I Can Be One Of The Top Players In The League.

I Want To Show People Who I Really Am, Especially Aspiring Basketball Players Who Want To Be At This Level. That's What I'm About.

Nick, You Know, The First Guy I Met When I First Got To Seattle, As An Eighteen Year Old, You Took Me In. You Believed In Me From The Beginning. You Knew That I Had Potential. And Every Single Day I Know I Could Look At You And Know That You Respect Me As A Man, As A Player, And You Gonna Ride With Me To The End. I Thank You.

I Learned How To Pass When I Was Real Young. That's One Thing I Always Knew How To Do Was Find The Open Man.

When Russell Was Out, You Stepped Your Game Up For Me, For The Team. There Were Nights Where You Made Me Look Way Better Than I Am. You Clean Up So Many Of Our Mistakes, Man, And We Appreciate That. From Everybody On The Team, We Appreciate That, Man, And I Thank You So Much For Giving Me Confidence When I Didn't Have It, For Always Being There When I Wanted To Talk To You, When I Wanted To Call, For Arguing With Me All The Time, Making Me Better, And Realizing I'm Not Always Right. Thank You, Man. I Appreciate You.
