I'm not chasing money, so I'm not looking at just trying to stretch out a deal artificially just to have a certain number.
I am and always will be a leader.
You're at your best, when you're focused and you're serious and passionate about what you do, but at the same time you can relax and have fun and be confident.
Fatherhood will put a man through a lot, but it's a tremendous job, the best in the world - even better than playing basketball.
When the opportunities are there, I'll probably have to be a little more aggressive offensively, instead of just waiting for a shot in the corner.
He's in a position now where he gets to make those plays every night and every time. He's just showing the ability he's always had. He's just doing it on a nightly basis.
It takes some feel-good with you to the All-Star break.
It tells you something about this team that we were able to start the season off correctly after that first half,
I was just trying to do whatever I needed to help us win. That was the objective. Today we needed extra offense and at times, I provided that. Just not enough to get a win.
That's the type of personality he has. But he does it in a way that's respectful of his teammates. He's never trying to show someone up.
For most fans of the league, they'll find it admirable. He didn't go in to start anything. He didn't go in to make any trouble. He went in to make sure his wife was OK.
We have maintained for some time that Spinifex Ridge is rapidly emerging as a mineral project with solid prospects for a mining operation. With the continuing high world molybdenum prices there is a need for an early completion of feasibility work. WorleyParsons' industry experience, delivery of projects of similar scale, innovation and capacity to move through to a bankable study within tight timeframes, were key criteria in securing this contract.
I'm more focused on the positives of why I'm here. I'll be able to address those things in due time. Right now it's about the Thunder and Oklahoma City.
I feel like I'm capable of doing so many things to help people around the country and the world.
