Everybody in the league wants to start. Everybody dreams of starting for an NBA team. I fulfilled that dream. Now, I just want to get to the playoffs and win the championship.

I just wanted to come to a playoff team and help them win games. Philly's the spot.

I mentioned [the NBA] to him briefly. I don't think it's something he's focused on right now.

He's one of the best players in the NBA. You have to take your hat off to him the way he carries his team.
