Most teams have one All-Star, whether that guy made it this year or earlier in his career, and some teams have two All-Stars. What theyre showing is that a group of five guys that play together and play hard will always beat a team with two All-Stars and three average players.

When you work on getting better at something, don't do it half speed

God could care less whether I can shoot a jump shot.

Whether that is me retiring, staying here or going somewhere else, it will be on my terms. I've made it to this point, and I felt great that I have the choice to make it for myself.

My nature is to keep things inside. In time, I'll be comfortable stepping up when I think the team could use my input.

I've ultimately decided that I will not play this NBA season. I'm going to take the remainder of this season, as well as the upcoming off-season, to reassess my situation, spend time with my family and determine if I will play in the 2015-16 season.

What brought me back here was my players, ... I know who Rashard (Lewis) is. I know who Nick (Collison) and Luke are, and I don't know what those other guys (on other teams) bring to the table. This is where I've made home and I didn't want anything different and I didn't need anything different.

Everything I know now . . . the pitfalls, the highs and lows, everything . . . it taught me and made stronger.

When I hit one over, I knew I was good.

I always say if the house I live in is comfortable, and I have all the amenities I need, then what more can you ask for?

It was Chinese music. I couldnt understand it, but it had a good beat to it.

Inside the first 20 to 25 games of the season, we were losing these games, getting beat by two and three points. Over the last 10 games, it seems like we're starting to win these games and putting some good things together.
