Question:

How far can you and the Blazers go this year?

Answer:

As far as our young legs gotta take us. We feel like the playoffs are a goal of ours, but we don't want to just stop and stare. Hopefully, we can get Greg back ... and we can continue to improve as the season goes on. We're not going to set a limit, we're going to continue to get better, the sky's the limit.

Question:

Seeing your teammate Rudy Fernandez and Dwight Howard out on the floor, do you dream about playing for the Olympic team one day?

Answer:

Yeah. Just watching The Olympics this summer, it was a dream of mine. I'm thinking, Man, I hope I can be on the next Olympic team. It's far away but I'm going to keep working and keep trying to lay my foundation for why I should be on that team. It's a dream of mine. I see Rudy out there, Dwight, we were in Utah and Carlos Boozer, Deron Williams and Andrei Kirilenko were getting their medals, So, it's definitely something I want to be a part of.

Question:

Is there one shoe that sticks out in your mind from when you were growing up?

Answer:

I think when the III’s came out as a retro (in 1999), I wore those things out. First I tried to keep them to the side, but then I started playing basketball in them and I beat those things down. But they were the most comfortable shoes ever.

Question:

What’s your all-time favorite sneaker?

Answer:

It’d have to be one of the Jordans, like the III’s, or the XI’s.

Question:

Since you guys didnt end up making the playoffs, what will you take from this season?

Answer:

We proved a lot of people wrong. We have a young team and we lost Greg and everybody counted us out. So I think from now on I’ll always remember this season as the season people counted us out. We did a good job of proving our doubters wrong.
