It's not about not wanting to go there because of the team. It's because of tickets and because of a lot of things [people whisper] in your ear. But what better time for me to get back on track, playing well there in the playoffs?

No team works out teamwork.

He's back. He's healthy. He's in better condition. He's hungry and wants the ball. He wants his team to be better.

Of course, from the team we had, I wasn't automatically thrilled, ... I was wondering what went wrong. But you think about the business of the N.B.A. and what we're here to do and you say, 'Jason will be great to run with, Jason will be a great point guard for us.' You move on from what you don't have.

I understand that I'm not perfect. I made mistakes and I had a hand in everything that's happened to me, good and bad.

I wanted to be a football player. Football is a sport that I love, but the more I started playing basketball, the more I started dreaming of playing in the NBA.
