Whether I'm starting or coming off the bench, bigs have to protect the rim and can't give nothing easy to nobody.

When you look at not just for Sixth Man but also for any award in the NBA even when it comes to the MVP, you should look at their impact to their team.

Whenever I get days off, I go home, or friends and family come up. I'm in contact with them every day, so it's like we live next door, but obviously we live in two different countries.
