I'm here. I'm not going anywhere. No matter what the injury - unless it's completely debilitating - I'm going to be the same player I've always been. I'll figure it out. I'll make some tweaks, some changes, but I'm still coming.

Can I jump over two or three guys like I used to? No. Am I as fast as I used to be? No, but I still have the fundamentals and smarts. That's what enables me to still be a dominant player. As a kid growing up, I never skipped steps. I always worked on fundamentals because I know athleticism is fleeting.

Sacramento has added a player in the mix that is everything that they weren't when we played them in the playoffs. The guy plays defense first, and now Sacramento has become much more aggressive on defense.

I've never had a player have an injury like that. Usually it's a matter of tightening up a shoe and gutting it out. We lost Kevin for seven games and he's still not 100 percent.

If you're afraid to fail, then you're probably going to fail.

My parents are my backbone. Still are. They're the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.
