We love playing together and we love adversity. You know, back-to-back, the two best teams in the East.
We play a different style than other teams. It's effective, but different. We run the floor, block shots and create turnovers.
Well, my favorite band is Radiohead. But, you know, I am pretty fascinated in general with music. I love music. It is definitely an interest.
We've been playing ugly. Without all of our bodies, we've been kicking it all over the shop, but fortunately we've been able to make the big buckets and rely on our defense for once.
We've got very few bodies right now so we were tired, but we've also got a lot of character and we want to win.
I used to collect hockey cards. It was like Vegas at my school. You'd go to school with your box of cards, and at recess and lunchtime there were all these games we'd play.
I know the strengths and weaknesses of my teammates. I make my passing decisions accordingly
If every basketball player worked as hard as I did, I'd be out of a job
Its crazy! I'm watching Linsanity hoping every shot goes in. Hope I never grow up.
My agility is the CEO of the United Global Agility Corporation
Leadership is possible in all different ways, and in all different areas of life. Whether it is with friends or family, I expect them to set a great example for me, and hopefully I will do the same for them. And that is all part of being a leader.
When I think of my career, I can't help but think of the kid with his ball, falling in love.
When you play with Kobe Bryant, the ball is gonna be with him most of the time, which is understandable.
I had role models in my community, guys that were older than me and played at university or on the national team. Eli Pasquale was always around UVic when I was a young player, and the national team was around Victoria a little bit, so I got to watch those guys and learn from them.
