It's important for us, if we're going to be a good team, to be a good defensive team in the fourth quarter.
I have definitely gone through my ups and downs and faced my adversity and my nay-sayers, but managed to do all right. It is a pretty classic tale.
It's cool to challenge myself to learn new things as opposed to going to play basketball in the park for millionth time.
The only reason I don't do more is because, like all of us, we have busy lives.
What really excited me at the end was the challenge of being the best I can be and prolonging my best level and playing against the best players in the world. But now that I don't have the opportunity to play against the best players in the world when it counts, in front of fans, it doesn't excite me as much.
I really don't care about the response to my hair this is just how my hair is. I don't take care of it, or comb it, or put anything in it, or style it or anything. When people comment on it, it is funny to me that it draws such attention. It makes me realize how insignificant that sort of thing is.
I have to say I've worked very few days of my life. I used to have to cut the lawn, and when I was in junior high school, I worked at a concession stand at a stadium.
I know that to be a good player, you have to stay healthy, and you have to be as athletic as you can possibly be.
You know, once you have been through a certain amount of things in life, you definitely grow more comfortable with yourself.
For the most part I try to just stay focused not on my play but on our team.
The fans in Dallas were hard on me my first year, but after having a great year last year they are now supporting me. It feels great to have my hard work pay off, especially when the fans made it hard for me.
Besides P.E., geography was my best class in high school. I was in this gifted class when I was younger, and it was wicked!
I am thrilled to be an Olympian, and I think that although we will be underdogs we can beat many teams and will be a surprise in Sydney.

I have as much fun as anybody I know.
Sometimes it's difficult maintaining my friendships, but to me, it's well worth it.
Basketball isn't as popular in Canada as it is in the US. Hockey is by far the most popular sport in Canada.
My free time at home is usually spent emailing, listening to music, reading and talking on the phone. I wish I was on the phone less, but I have been fortunate to stay in touch with so many incredible friends.
Anytime you play a finalist it's going to be a challenge.
I feel very comfortable going at full speed.
My father was a soccer player. All my friends played basketball though, so I stuck with basketball.
I hope my kids learn to put themselves first.
My best memories are because I was on teams I love - even going back to being a kid. Not just in the NBA.
My ideal day would be to get a good work out in, listen to music, talk to my family and friends on the phone, read and go to a good movie.
We've been playing ugly. Without all of our bodies, we've been kicking it all over the shop, but fortunately we've been able to make the big buckets and rely on our defense for once.
