Often, I allow teammates to take my penalties so they can have goals, but no one talks of that.
I have great support from my family, friends and teammates.
I just want to make sure that my teammates will be taken care of.
Tevez is an extraordinary striker. Not only does he score goals, but he also helps his teammates and the midfield, too.
My rookie year, Byron Scott didn't really want to sign me. In New Jersey, the New Jersey Nets. I got there, and Byron Scott didn't really like me, but they let me come to camp and I was having a great camp. Stephon Marbury embraced me.
When I see one of my teammates make a good play, to keep that energy going, I feel like that's what I do on the defensive end, and then make a good offensive play.
I had great teammates. Adam Jones took great care of me. Mike Gonzalez took good care of me.
When you are a striker like me, you always play for the teammates.
I feel more comfortable with the ball in my hands, playing the point guard. But I like playing the 2, too. I think I bring tough defense and the ability to score and also get my teammates the ball to score.
You always try to make your teammates better. You help out your teammates, and they help you out in return. As they get better and better, they can help you more and more. At least, I've always seen it that way.
I get nervous watching teammates. I get nervous for them. Late in the game, pressure situation, I'm nervous for them.
I remember Simon O'Donnell being struck with cancer during Australia's 1987 World Cup campaign. I know very well what it is like to have a teammate who has been struck with a potentially fatal disease. He fought through: managed to get himself back to 100% fitness and back to playing again.
