I've seen players in the past who wanted to stay with their team, and it didn't work out.

I know how to put the ball in the hoop.

A lot of people expect a lot of things out of me.

A lot of freshmen will come in and say they can do what Carmelo did, but not everybody is Carmelo Anthony. He was a special player. Syracuse was a great fit for him.

You always - as a basketball player, as a competitor - that's where you speak most: on the court.

When I look back at 19, coming here to Chicago, some of the things that were said, some of the stuff that you deal with - at 19 years old, it's a lot of pressure.

At some point, when I was in Chicago for maybe eight years, I never thought I would leave Chicago. I wish it would have happened that way, but everything happens for a reason.

No matter what I do for the rest of my career, I think I'll always be a Bulls guy.

It's not easy not to play.

I was just a lanky kid, just tall.
