2."I'm not walking into this scenario thinking I'm failing. I'm walking in thinking I'm confident and pretty sure that I can make it work. If I sit here and listened to everyone else tell me that I can't do it, then obviously I wouldn't be here." 我不是帶著將失敗的情緒走進賽場的。我回來的時候滿懷信心，我相信仍然能夠有所作為。如果我只是坐在這裏聽別人告訴我不能復出，那我肯定不會出現在這裏。
3."Physically, I know that I'm not 25 years old. I'm not stepping up and saying I will be 25 years old when I step on that court, but I feel like I can play the game of basketball at the highest level, and that's what I aim to do." “從身體上來說，我知道我已經不是25歲的年輕人了。當我走上賽場時，我也不會說我跟25歲時壹樣強壯，但我相信我可以的最高的水平，這也是我的目標。”
4."I come from where you're expected to dominate and you are the target - everybody's shooting at you. Well, here, no one's expecting anything, so I'm kind of coming from the underdog aspect of things, which is kind of different, but yet it's fresh, it's new. We're not expected to win 50 games. From what I hear from most of you guys, we're not expected to win 30 games. And that's a challenge. I'm not coming in with these preconceived ideas that we're going to be 50-32. I'll be totally surprised if we're 50-32, but I think we can be far better than 19-63." 當我退役時，我可以控制賽場，我是每壹個人欲打倒而後快的目標，但現在，沒人對我有所指望，我是以低調的姿態出現的，這反差太大了，但這也很新鮮。沒人指望我們會取得50場勝利，很多人說我們不會取得30場勝利。這是壹個挑戰……我並不是帶著將取得50勝的信心復出的，如果我們50勝32負的話，我會很吃驚的，但我想我們肯定會比19勝63負好.
5."I am going to have to be patient and let things fall into place and not expect myself to come out and score 40 or 50 points the first night. I'm just going to try to work my way back into the intensity of the game." 我將會有足夠的耐心，我不敢奢望在第壹場比賽就拿下40分或者50分。我將以自己的方式逐漸適應激烈的比賽 .
6."If that was my concern, I wouldn't do this. I'm not afraid to take on a challenge. I'm not afraid to take a step. If I fall, I fall, pick myself up and move on." 如果關心這個，我就不會復出了……我從不害怕挑戰……我從不怕走出新的壹步，如果我失敗了，那我會爬起來重新開始.
