It is a priceless experience playing against them and seeing the world as well.

We had the opportunity to play on an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf, definitely a great experience there. You get to go out every night and play against one of the best teams in the world and you get to travel and see the world doing it. It's a hard gig to beat.

If you think about it, it's like four years of college basketball. You just have to pace yourself. We come out, play hard, try to win and go at it. But you have to pace yourself too. We work out, run and stay in shape. So that definitely helps us along physically and mentally. It's just as much mental as it is physical out here.
