I'm excited to be joining a talented team like the Nuggets. They have a great owner and Kiki and Coach [George] Karl have the team going in the right direction. I look forward to contributing both on and off the court. |
I'm getting a lot more comfortable. I'm just feeling out my niche and it's a different style of play and a different mentality. |
I'm not one to judge anybody. Who am I to judge? I'm not perfect . I don't know what he said exactly, and I don't know what he meant by it. But I'm not one to judge anyone by their words or actions. I can only control what I can control. |
I'm taking advantage of the time I get, whether I'm starting or coming off the bench. |
I'm very close with him. His grandmother is like my grandmother. They took me in. It's always competitive during the game. We save the fun for after. |
I've always been known for defense, but I wanted to add something new to my game, a whole new dimension. |
It kind of just slipped. |
It's always good memories coming back here. Being part of the 50-win season with Hubie (Brown), the change from being one of the worst teams in the NBA to helping them make the playoffs ... I think the playoffs are expected here now. |
My relationship with Hubie was almost like father-son. It's a guy hooking up to a guy, talking about basketball, talking a lot about life. When he left, that hurt a lot of people on the team. |
No one has come up to me and said the rumors was false. I feel like since that hasn't happened it has to be the obvious. |
That was fun. We're just running. |
That's attractive for any free agent. |
The passion for winning in this locker room is so strong. The transition game is fun with this team, because everyone runs. Every play in transition, I've got like two or three options. ... You have so many options, you get to pick how you want to get the crowd going. |
Their whole style of play dictated the second half. |
There are no excuses for getting blown out like that. Your competitiveness makes you try to find a way to play and to try and get back into the game. You take a game like that personally. I never expect to get beat by 30. |
