It's how I've been playing my whole life, guarding the best player on the other team.

I'm just playing basketball. I just want to be a great player. That's it. That's all I'm thinking about. If the other stuff comes, it comes, but I'm just fortunate to play in the NBA Finals and just to play basketball, period.

I'll never try to win an award. I'm out there just playing for my team.

Gerry is a great, tough player and does a lot for the team. Whoever is guarding him is going to have a tough assignment.

Whoever I'm playing against, I go in and try to stop their best scorer and try to get myself going on the offensive end.

Coming to a team like the Spurs, you're automatically going to learn how to play the game the right way.
