People think it doesn't matter what they do, that they're just 'another statistic' type of person. Everyone's got a certain uniqueness they can use for the better if they put their minds to it.

It's tough coming home because I wanted to play in front of my family and friends, but it's more important to take my time and be back for the Pac-10 tournament.

I was in a considerable amount of pain (when he suffered the injury) so I didn't expect to be able to just take a week off and come back. I knew that if I injured it again, that would just put me further behind. I wanted to be smart.

I don't think I'm in good enough shape (to play).
