Q: How often do you get asked about the knee injury you suffered almost six years ago?
A: It's still the elephant in the room. Everybody still asks me about it. I came a long way.
Q: Does it bother you any more?
A: It swells from time to time. I've still got to do maintenance. I'll have to do that for the rest of my life. But to play the game of basketball, it's worth it.
Q: Is it true that you have never watched a replay of the injury?
A: Never watched it.
Q: How disappointing was it to be cut after the Houston Rockets brought in Jeremy Lin this season? A lot of people thought you outplayed him in training camp.
A: It is what it is. It's part of the NBA. You've just got to roll with the punches, deal with it, try to be professional, go out there and do your job the best you can.
Q: What are your thoughts about playing with Kyrie Irving?
A: He's one of my favorite point guards to watch. Not only does he have all the tools, he understands the game. He's an old soul in that sense. I love players who understand the game and know how to play. He's definitely one of my favorites. I'm looking forward to watching him as well as playing with him. He's one of the most gifted players we have in the league as far as skill.
