I feel a lot more comfortable than last year and the year before. The guys and the coach have been helping me a lot. Steve Nash always makes everyone comfortable on the court. I think this is very important for everybody.

I never saw him. I asked coach, 'How did he do that?' My teammates said I was dribbling like crazy and he still caught me. All of a sudden, he's at the other end.

Not even one time I fouled him. Because he's Kobe and I'm young, he gets the call. I bet Raja would not get one of them. I'm learning. Hopefully, in the playoffs, I'll get a chance to guard him.

I didn't come with a lot of energy the same way I came in the first game. . . . I'll come to the next game very, very hard.

In this league, it's one thing I don't like to say, but it's about business. Everybody likes you, but tomorrow they trade you. I don't like the word trade. I'm going to do the best I can to be here. I like Phoenix, my team, the fans.
