I was kind of unproven. I didn't play in a high-profile school, and with that comes the notion that, 'He's not ready.' I felt I had questions to answer. Was I going to be ready to play against elite-level athletes?
I've been inspired by many great players in this league, and it's great to re-inspire younger generations and guys coming into this league.
Usually I've had two jobs: be the best defender and the best scorer.
I've never been a guy that's been salty about the shots I'm getting. I just try to play the right way.
Winning takes precedence over all of it. That's the ultimate happiness. It's not location. It's not stardom. It's not 'where can I make the most money.' It's winning, and winning championships.
I just love playoff basketball.
