For me to be here tonight, everything had to be perfect. I had to get drafted by Utah, had to play with a point guard like John Stockton, and had to be coached by Jerry Sloan and Frank Layden.

I wasn't a point guard. I was a killer.

You can play fast but not in a hurry. As a point guard, I can dictate that.

You've got to get used to it. He said you need a great point guard to be a great team. I just take that into consideration that he wants me to be great. They don't call me Nate the Great for nothing. I've got to live up to the name and live up to the expectations that he wants. He's hard on me and I love it.

He was critical. Everything starts with having a point guard.

Harvey Hale is our point guard.
