On taking part in basketball in Sacramento and why he needs to stick with the Kings:

“I really like being right here in Sacramento. Fan interactions are like being in Kentucky. No matter how good the opposite sports activities are, it is all the time going to be about basketball everytime you’re in that metropolis. If you are in a position to win right here, I really feel prefer it’s only a totally different feeling. And clearly with the ability to follow the crew that drafted you is someplace you are feeling comfy when it comes to life.

“Being on this metropolis, in a single place for a very long time performs an enormous half in it. If I’m in a position to assist this crew get to the playoffs and hopefully win a championship in some unspecified time in the future in my profession, I really feel like nothing will high that. Being in a position to say you gained a championship for the Sacramento Kings is extraordinary, proper? People would say you are loopy. And if I used to be in a position to try this at any second, that might be one of the best factor ever in my profession.”

If he sees this season as a greater 12 months for him:

“I think defensively, I was more consistent. I’ve always been one of the best hitters in the league, regardless of position. But I think the main difference is when you win, I think you’re looked at differently. So that’s a testament to what (team owner) Vivek (Ranadive) and what (general manager) Monte (McNair) they put me around. I feel like I’ve played well my last three or four seasons. I think winning, that’s pretty much what has changed.”

On the Kings’ outlook for the remainder of the season:

“The way we started this season, we feel like we could play with anybody. For me, it’s going out there and competing every night. One thing I have told everyone this year is to be consistent. You’re going to go through the highs and lows of a season, you’re going to go through the highs and lows of a game, and if you can continue to stay consistent, we’ll be able to be in the playoffs.”
