All that other stuff, best record and all of that, doesn't mean anything. This is the time we've been waiting for since we lost the last game last year. |
Everybody says we don't have no superstars. No, we've got five superstars. If we wanted to have a guy averaged 30 points a game, we could do that. But we want bigger things. We want a championship and we know one guy can't guard five. |
Everyone is healthy and ready for the party. That's good. |
Everything was just like I thought it would be. It was fun and it was exciting. If I didn't have the jitters then it wouldn't have felt right. I definitely had the jitters. |

I am beat up. I am just trying to fight through it. Regardless of how I am shooting, I am still trying to help my team any way I can. |
I call it my 7-footer shot, because if a 7-footer is running at you, then you got to get it over him. I practice that shot all the time — before games, in practice, all the time. |
I come from a place where this doesn't happen. To be here is unbelievable because when everyone tells you, you can't do something, you can't do something, you can't do something, and you get the opportunity to be in the NBA, to win a championship, and now, to be an All-Star, it's unbelievable. |
