Im Back!

Hey yardbarker I know its been a long time but i have not forgot. As most of you know its been a hard time for me these past few months with the loss of my Mama recently but I am doing good. I want to personally thank all of my fans who have been there for me. Your thoughts and the prayers have meant so much. I appreciate your support and i love my fans for thinking of me.

Ive been keeping my mind focused on basketball a lot lately. More than ever. When I'm not on the court or practicing Ive been playing a lot of video games maybe that is because my nephews and friends are around me. When we are on the road I like to watch movies on the plane from my computer. Before our road games my teammates will go to BestBuy or Blockbuster and buy the newest movies. I watch whatever they bring but I really like action movies. The last movie I watched that was action was Bat Race with that guy from Transformers. It was good.

So i know you all probably want to know about the trade but ill keep that for next time. I just wanted to thank you for all the support you have given to me. I have the best fans in the world and around the world. Tchau!

Summertime

What's up everyone? Sorry its been a while since I last blogged. I had to sort of lay low and chill out for a while to get through the anger and disappointment of losing in the first round. It's been an emotional roller coaster these last few weeks to say the least. Wow. I am still trying to recover from what happened to us in the first round. We could have and should have won that series. It is mind boggling and one of the hardest things I've had to swallow in a long time. You work your butt off the whole season with such high hopes and potential and it all just crumbled. I was frustrated with my play and the team's play as well. San Antonio is an incredible team with an unbelievable coach and they deserved to win. They know their roles, respect their coach, and know what it takes to win in the playoffs. I really think game one set the tone for the series. It gave them confidence and momentum. We should have won that game. Really they blew us out only one game and we blew them out one game. The other three just have easily could have gone our way. But it's in the past now and we have to forgive and forget. I have to take the experience and learn from it and it just motivates me to work my @ss off this summer! So here we are now....vacation started a little early this year. I have no choice but to move on at this point and focus on my game and next season. I am leaving for Brazil soon and I'm so excited to get home and see my family and friends. I'm going to rest my body for a bit and then get to work. I am really motivated and am going to work hard this summer on my defense and mid range jumper, along with all the other fundamentals. Thanks to all of you for your support during the season. I really appreciate it. I'll check in with you all to say what's up. Tchau!

Qwest Basketball Clinic

So last week I got the chance to partner up with Qwest Communications to host a leadership basketball clinic at US Airways Center. I wanted to share some pics with you guys from the special day. As part of the Qwest Leadership Challenge, high school basketball students were given the chance to use leadership skills to improve the communities they live in. Each student put in 30 hours of their own time and completed a community based project that included service to a non profit or school related cause. Phoenix Suns assistance coach and a good friend of mine Dan D'Antoni helped me out and we worked with about 30 students at the clinic and talked about the importance of leadership in the community. Also, the Phoenix Suns and Qwest honored two students with $5,000 college scholarships which I thought was so cool. I like to see good kids get rewarded for their hard work. These guys and girls definitely deserved it. Check out the pictures attached. One is of the group and one is of the two students that won the scholarships.

Winding Down

After tonight we have only three more games left in the regular season. Crazy huh? I can't believe the season is coming to an end. It has flown by so fast. We got some good news though on Monday that we have secured a playoff spot which was good news considering the tight standings here in the wild west. Now we have to do our best to try and get home court advantage if possible. We got in to San Antonio late last night from Memphis after we got a much needed win. On Monday after arriving in Memphis the team got together to watch the big game. It was kind of cool being there to share in the excitement even though they lost. I didn't really care who won. Just love watching a good basketball game and checking out the players that will be in the NBA soon. College basketball has a lot of talented players. It's a good reminder that I need to keep working hard and improving my game. I can't let them replace me! Well, gotta catch the bus in an hour for the game tonight so I gotta go shower, pack and order my cappuccino. This game is big for us in so many ways. San Antonio is at the top right now and we would love to finish the season on a roll. Go Suns!
