Shanghai is an amazing city. The fans were so nice to my family and to myself and just treated us as their own. I'm extremely grateful to the Sharks for that opportunity.

It's always good to be back in Salt Lake City.

I go out there, and I know if I play my game, then I'm going to be all right.

I'm just trying to focus on playing my game and playing well, and whatever happens afterwards, we'll see.

I never thought that I would ever go over to China for any reason - then to be able to go over there and play basketball, embracing the culture.

Some people see ESPN. They see the long shots. They see me scoring the basketball, but they don't show often too many assists - and I've been doing that my whole career, being able to get the ball to the guy at the right time.

The D-League has helped me to get better and develop as a basketball player.

Defensively, I really feel like I've progressed and gotten better.

I've had some difficulties, but I've also done some good things on defense. So it's just all about effort... You've got to take it personal and work as hard as you can on that end of the floor.

As a competitor, you want to be out there. It's always tough to watch others play and know you've put in the time, you've put in work. But at the same time, you have to support them. You're a teammate, and you have to be the best teammate you can be and go out and continue to better, and hopefully you get an opportunity.

Being in the D-League, I might be able to get into a rhythm and start shooting the ball well and get some confidence and get some reps.

I've seen guys work as hard as I have and don't have the shot I have.

The Knicks' practice facility is a great place.

I worked at a pizza shop. My brother's best friend owned it. I did a little bit of everything there, whatever they needed.

You can go out and produce and make a name for yourself.

That's how I see myself, as a guy who can supply offense and help the team.

I've had opportunities to go out and play, but sometimes I haven't. It's been a mixture of both.

I don't let people affect me.

I know I can play in the NBA, and I can be a very good player in the NBA.

I always look at the bathroom. If you have a nice bathroom in the hotel, then it's a nice hotel. It's all about the shower and the bathroom.

Hopefully people see me as a great person, first of all.

You've got to kind of speak things into existence if you really want them to happen.

People see the scoring, and oftentimes, that's all they think about with me, but I try to get better at all aspects my the game and become a better basketball player.

People have different opinions of your career and how you've played and all that, and they're entitled to their opinions.
