What I'm doing right now, I'm chasing perfection.
I focus on one thing and one thing only - that's trying to win as many championships as I can.
You want me to own a team and deal with these rich, spoiled stubborn athletes, and try to get them to perform? No thank you.
If there were camera phones back in the day, the biggest athletes in the world would have had a lot of explaining to do.
I'm chasing perfection.
Everyone looks at your watch and it represents who you are, your values and your personal style.
I'm reflective only in the sense that I learn to move forward. I reflect with a purpose.
I wear the number 10 Jersey for the US National Team in honour of the Greatest athlete I have ever seen: Messi.
If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail.
I was aggressive. I saw how they played defense and decided to come at them.
I thought we'd have our ups and downs being that it's a new system, trying to learn it. It's just moving the ball, spacing, timing, rhythm, things like that. I knew it would kind of be like a roller-coaster ride.
I think that from the start of this series we have just been playing extremely well and we are moving the ball around really well. We have just evolved into this from the start of the season, it has been process. We are just playing so well together.
It gives us confidence. It shows that our play is not a fluke. We move the ball consistently and play defense consistently. This bodes well for our confidence.
It is a physical game and especially in the playoffs it steps up to another degree. It is fun to be a part of those types of games. It is nothing personal.
