For a big club, you can accept that the team does not win the league because it is in transition, but you cannot afford to slip out of the Champions League spot.
I'd like to help educate kids about the Major Leagues - what to anticipate, what to expect, what they'll need to do to prepare themselves.
When you're a quarterback in this league, you're going to be talked about and it's going to be on a weekly basis.
The league wants certain things. They want certain guys. I'm just not one of them. But I can't help the way I am.
It hurt me a great deal. It put a lot of pressure on me because I was at a young age and the writers around here and throughout the league starting comparing me to Cobb. It put a lot of pressure on me.
I had a lot of doubt coming into my career about being an elite point guard in this league.
Guys in this league, it depends on the stage you're at in your career, where you've played, situations you've been in - that kind of molds your idea of how you want to play, and where you want to be in this league.
If you come in this league, and you're comfortable with being a backup, something's wrong.

It is normal to be under pressure in England and Italy when you arrive in the last two months of the season. Every manager is talked about, and their squad is examined.
When Boston and Orlando told me they were going to pick me at 21 and 22, I figured I don't need to do a workout for a second -round team. Boston and Orlando never drafted me because they said I was too skinny and no European point guard will make it in the League.
