It's cool to challenge myself to learn new things as opposed to going to play basketball in the park for millionth time.
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.
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.
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.
My father was a soccer player. All my friends played basketball though, so I stuck with basketball.
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.
Well, my favorite band is Radiohead. But, you know, I am pretty fascinated in general with music. I love music. It is definitely an interest.
We play a different style than other teams. It's effective, but different. We run the floor, block shots and create turnovers.
We love playing together and we love adversity. You know, back-to-back, the two best teams in the East.
My closest friends in the league are Dirk Nowitzki and Rex Chapman. Although I think Michael Finley and I will be friends forever.
I don't think coaches should have to wear mic's. It is an invasion of privacy. We are trying to accomplish things, and wearing microphones may hinder development by straining the nature of relationships coaches and players have.
The playoffs are the playoffs. You just play who is put in front of you.
Our centers spread the floor, shoot the three and block shots. We can play pick and pop.
We've got very few bodies right now so we were tired, but we've also got a lot of character and we want to win.
