I don’t think so, we love playing in front of our home crowd, on our home floor, but we’ve still got to go out there and play basketball the right way — compete and do what we say we’re going to do before the game, what we say we’re going to do after the game.

Game is simple. I shoot the ball when Im open, sometimes I shoot it when Im not open.

Everybody wants to paint the picture that we havent won here in however many years, im just glad that we came out on top. We dont care how many games weve lost, nothing like that.

That's what really won us the game, we were out there guarding, we rebounded, and we got a lot of easy baskets. When we're playing like that, we look really good out there.

It's not all fine and dandy, but a smile can go a long way. Show some love, be patient, and this world will be a much better place.

smile love long world

I play really hard. I put my body on the line every damn practice. Every day in the games. That's my passion. That's how I give to the game.

My whole life, people have doubted me. My mom did. People told me in high school I'm too short and not fast enough to play basketball. They didn't know my story. Because if they did, they'd know that anything is possible.

We say it every year: we are confident; we think we can win a championship, yadda, yadda, yadda. You have all heard it before. But we have to go out there and do it.

Everybody's so scared to be honest with one another. If you didn't like the way I handled myself in practice, one of the players, come up to me. Somebody say something - anybody. I'm not gonna take it as offense; it's not personal.

I learned 'The Star-Spangled Banner,' the national anthem. I always wanted to play it before the Bulls game, but I always thought, like, Coach would be like, 'You're not focused on the game!' So I never really asked.

I knew that to be successful, I had to be more than a scorer. I had to become a leader. It's not about scoring. It's about doing what my team needs me to do.

I wanna be that glue guy: I want to be a guy my team and my coach can count on. That's what I want to be.
