It's amazing now the amount of love we get around this city from all the Hornets' fans. Growing up, you really don't understand it. Now I'm really starting to realize what Hornets means here in Charlotte.

Of course, I've been a Knicks fan growing up, always rooted for the home team. But I really can't see myself in a Knicks jersey - only because I've been in one jersey.

There were times I didn't know if I even belonged in the NBA. Everyone at this level is so good - bigger, stronger, faster.

I had a lot of doubt coming into my career about being an elite point guard in this league.

I'm more mature, my game is more mature, and I can do a bunch of things on and off the court to fully maximize this team's potential.

Whether we're stuffing our faces with Kogi tacos or playing a pickup game of football outside the stages, there's never a shortage of fun behind the scenes on 'Murder In The First.'

I lust love to play football.

I have the opportunity to be part of swimming history. To take the sport to a new level would be an honor for me. There's no better time to try this than now.
