I'm not even sweating that stuff. There's no need for that. I know who I am as a player and that I have a job to do for the next 32 games, whether that's in an Atlanta Hawks uniform or some other uniform.

I'm better than ever. I really don't know how that kind of [stuff] gets started, those rumors. But I'm good, baby.

It's sweating the small stuff.

When you know the player is not going to be there, you make alternate plans and go on,

He's a no-maintenance, no-baggage player, on top of being a highly skilled player. That's quite a package for teams.

I have done nothing I'm ashamed of. I'm not Katie, Matt or Ann. I do some sillier stuff. Like a newspaper, there's serious stuff and there's the lighter stuff. I'm proud of the role I play on the 'Today' show.
