My goal is to be able to play wherever my team needs me.
I know that sacrifices have to be made to play with good teams.
If you want to win, you have to sacrifice and do what makes the team work most efficiently.
We didnt come out with any energy. We know were not good enough to let the game come to us. We have to come with high energy, play hard team basketball and do everything the right way. Coming into the season, we all knew we didnt have too much room for error.
The stereotype of a leader is one who talks and peps people up and things like that, but in actuality you have to listen to your teammates.
It's really special. When I was in the second grade, I watched the Dream Team ? it was a special time for me.
They executed well, they made a bunch of tough shots. When you play a team like that, you look at them, and you can learn a lot.
That goes to show ourselves and the fans that when we play the right way, it's tough for teams to come here and win. We knew we could score every time. We were pretty much scoring at will in the first half.
I think it's (the national team selection) a little bigger.
I think this team has a good chemistry going for it right now. In the long run, it's going to be us. We understand that. We can just play with each other and not worry about anything, just worry about winning.
They play pretty good without Iverson. They have a lot of guys who really step up to the plate and accept that challenge without him. It's still really a good team without him.
Sometimes when I have a 1-on-1 advantage and teams don't do a good job of either doubling or clogging the paint, that works to my advantage.
Every team goes through changes. It's up to us as players to put that aside and just play. It's hard to see positives getting beat by 20, plain and simple.
The whole coaching staff talked about going to the line as much as possible, taking advantage of the mismatches and getting to the free-throw line. Whenever we play unselfish at home or on the road, we are a tough team to beat. When we play unselfish, we play better defense and we move the ball and play better offense.
