If there's a loose ball, dive on the floor. If you can take a charge, do that. The playoffs are all about scratching. Whatever it takes.

Sometimes it helps to take a couple days off, as weird as that sounds. Every once in a while, I could just shoot so many shots. You can get so, like, intense with it all. It's like in life, right? We're all created for a sabbath day or for a day of rest. You sometimes need that in shooting, too.

I see a David West score 47, and yeah, it'd be cool to put up numbers like that. But I don't need that to make me happy.

Do I consider the 2003 Draft class the best ever? Yes, absolutely!

Draft night for me - I watched it in my dorm in college. And it started off with just me and a friend, because I knew I probably wasn't going to get picked right away. I thought it was going to be a little later. But, you know, you watch the whole thing. You never know what might happen, so you gotta watch.

I've always had a good relationship with superstar players. I don't really demand the ball a lot.

Every game is its own thing in the playoffs. When you're in them long enough, you understand. If a playoff series goes six or seven games, it's like a rollercoaster. Your emotions are so up, then they're so down. 'You can't do anything right! Then everything's going your way!'

Midseason trades are hard.

A lot of guys can shoot two, three, four, five, six, seven, 10 feet behind the 3-point line. A lot of people can do it. It's just, when is it going to be considered a good shot? When are coaches going to encourage you to shoot that shot?

I've never been a break-you-down, one-on-one guy.

It's frustrating when teams try to take me out. But there's a lot of other ways to win besides shooting.

I've never played the jack-it-up kinda game; that's just not who I am.

You've got to go through some good times and some bad times, and hopefully you're able to recover from the bad times.

I run around a lot. I shoot a lot of threes. And that's just kind of what I've done since I was really young.

Analytics, math, science has gone into a lot of different areas of the NBA.

I have strong faith, and I have strong family.

I would say moving to Iowa turned out to be the best thing for my basketball career.

I probably need to hold my emotions in check a little more, but that's just part of my wiring, too.

It hasn't always been easy. There's a lot of hard moments. Sometimes you learn from the end of the bench. Sometimes you learn from injuries. Sometimes you learn the most through the hard things. If you can keep a good attitude and keep on working, eventually situations change, and you can put those things to use.

It's hard for me to sit still.

When I played, I didn't have the strongest arm, and in a game, I never threw it as hard as I could, either.

For me, as a pocket quarterback, there wasn't much adjustment as I got older.

I want people to know that you can chase your dreams no matter where you are in your life, and it can work out. I know. It happened to me.

You have to learn how not to be defined by failure.
