Any athlete knows that trophies are won in springtime. It’s not a reason to get nervous. It’s a reason to work even harder to be prepared for what’s coming.

The Euroleague is one of the toughest leagues in the world. And when I get back, games will be even tougher, because they’re the most crucial games of the season. We know. And the crowd definitely makes sure we know. The atmosphere in the European stadiums is mental. I love it.

We’ve got the crowd backing us and we’ve got the talent. We’ve definitely got a shot at winning everything this season. More than a shot – and I want to be part of that.

That’s why I’m working my butt off here. Working my way back to the team. I do a lot of mobility, stretching - and working as hard as I can to make everything stronger, get my core stronger. It’s the only way.

I’m going back a week before I’m ready to go - and wrap up my rehab in Greece. That way I can kind of get back into swing of things and learn the new offense that they might have put in. It’s better to immerse myself back in right before I start playing as opposed to jumping right in again.

You’ve got to make sure you’re prepared - because if you know what’s coming there’s less to be nervous about.
