It's something I take a lot of pride in doing, in being the best defensive player in the world, in helping my teammates every night.
Defense is so important for helping your team win games and for the game in general.
Sometimes when you lose a game, you win a game, you get stuck in the bubble.
It's not just about doing things in Utah or in France. It's about doing things everywhere and having an impact everywhere. There are a lot of charities that do a remarkable job that just don't have much light and much support.
You cannot be mad at somebody for wanting to play for another team.
I just try to set good screens and get my teammates open.
I'm just working every day and keep watching film and keep building chemistry with my teammates.
I'm learning not to try to block everything.
I think everybody needs to think about making plays for the team, making winning plays, before thinking about how many points we're going to score and stuff like that.
All the coaches preach about defense. Every day they talk about defense, they talk about how important it is to get stops in order to win basketball games.
I'm motivated every night.
It's good to be held accountable.
It has always been a dream to win either the Olympic gold medal or the World Cup.
I have a lot of pride.
I might win a championship. I might win two or three. I might not. The journey to get there is, for me, the most important.
I'm going to make my own story for sure.
I'm always going to be about winning.
Everything I do, I do it to win.
Bill Russell is one of the greatest players of all time.
I think playoff experience matters for sure.
