If I Come To Work Every Day

When Russell Was Out, You Stepped Your Game Up For Me, For The Team. There Were Nights Where You Made Me Look Way Better Than I Am. You Clean Up So Many Of Our Mistakes, Man, And We Appreciate That. From Everybody On The Team, We Appreciate That, Man, And I Thank You So Much For Giving Me Confidence When I Didn't Have It, For Always Being There When I Wanted To Talk To You, When I Wanted To Call, For Arguing With Me All The Time, Making Me Better, And Realizing I'm Not Always Right. Thank You, Man. I Appreciate You.

This Was An Extremely Difficult Decision As I Take Great Pride In Representing Our Country. I Know That I Owe It To My Usa Basketball Teammates To Be Totally Invested In The Experience. After Going Through Training Camp With Usab, I Realized I Could Not Fulfill My Responsibilities To The Team From Both A Time And Energy Standpoint. I Need To Take A Step Back And Take Some Time Away, Both Mentally And Physically In Order To Prepare For The Upcoming Nba Season. I Will Be Rooting For Usab And Look Forward To Future Opportunities With Them.

Me As A Person, I'm Not The President Of The Nbpa (national Basketball Players Association). I Don't Even Know What To Say. I'm Not Like This Perfect, Buttoned-up, Suit-and-tie Guy.

I Didn’t Fall In Love With It Just Because It Was Me Playing. I Fell In Love With It Because I’ve Got Guys Like This – Like These Guys Every Single Day That Push Me To Be The Best That I Can Be.

Experience Is The Best Teacher. I've Been Through A Lot - Going To The Olympics, Going To The Finals, Having A Lot Of Good Games And Having A Lot Of Bad Games. It's A Rollercoaster Ride And I'm Just Happy I'm A Part Of It. If It Was Easy, Then Everybody Could Do It.
