It seems like teams want a guy who can get 10, 11, 12 assists. That's the kind of player I want to be. Sometimes that is more important than scoring 30 points a night.
I'm looking forward to playing with those guys, ... Carlos Boozer, Andrei Kirilenko are definitely two great players in this league and I definitely feel they'll enjoy playing with me. I'm best when I'm out there making plays for people and making my teammates better and make the game just easier for them.
I'm just honored to play for the Jazz and to play after John Stockton, to wear the same jersey he wore and be on the same floor he was on because he's one of the best players of all-time, one of the best point guards of all- time,
C.J. played great tonight. He made the most of his opportunity. He got out there for a good amount of time and made the most of it. I think he showed he can be a special player down the line.
I was glad to see him sitting over there on the sideline.
We've just got to get some wins. We're still alive in this thing, the season's not over. We've still got a chance, whether it's a slim chance or not. If we keep winning and some teams lose, we're right there.
I actually don't play any new video games except 'Call of Duty.' I'm addicted to 'Call of Duty.' It's the only game I need.
I think my putting could be better, my short game.
I've got a lot of favorite golfers.
Potential is the good of life -- action the secret key.
I'll take a nice assist any day over points.
My responsibility is to get people into the offense.
A lot of people have high expectations. I'm just going to do the best I can.
I try to get control of the tempo, control of the flow, and get my teammates the ball in the best position to score.
