Work Harder Than Your Opponent.

Nick, You Know, The First Guy I Met When I First Got To Seattle, As An Eighteen Year Old, You Took Me In. You Believed In Me From The Beginning. You Knew That I Had Potential. And Every Single Day I Know I Could Look At You And Know That You Respect Me As A Man, As A Player, And You Gonna Ride With Me To The End. I Thank You.

If I'd Gone Straight To The Nba, I Don't Think I Would Have Been Ready As A Player Or A Person.

This City, All They Want Us To Be Is Ourselves. You Love Us How We Are. We’re All A Work In Progress As Men And You Still Love Us And I Thank You So Much For Embracing Us.

You Gotta Win. That's All It Takes.

My Mother Taught Me To Always Be Strong And Always Work Hard. She's Been Working Hard Her Whole Life For Me And My Brother. I'm A Lot Like Her In That I Work Hard For What I Want. She Taught Me That.
