If I don't need to shoot the ball, I won't do it.

A lot of guys go into the NBA not being able to shoot the ball well, but then they become great shooters.

I decided since it was my birthday I was going to shoot it anyway.

We talked about it before the game. If we could come out and shoot the ball well, that's a real key to our success.

It'll be no picnic. We're going to have to shoot the ball better or it's going to be a long afternoon or evening.

I think my versatility is a big strength. I don't think anybody can guard me, just because I'm 6'10 and can dribble and play point. If I have a little guy on me, I take him to the post. For me to be able to then pass the ball, it helps me a lot.
