"It's an honour and it's a privilege to be here and to have fun doing it.
And just to be the host city of the biggest event going on right now in the NBA is fun.
Thankfully everyone could come to Houston and enjoy the great city."
Q. Who wins on Sunday?
"East v. West?
I gotta choose West, man.
I've got my team mate in there."
"No it's about having fun, but the fun is in the competition.
It's in competing and playing against the best in the world."
"Yeah we want to win.
You know it's a fun game and it's a fun game to watch and to play in, but you definitely
want to win no matter what."
"I think for small forwards yeah, you've got so many great ones.
The Melos (Carmelo Anthony) the Lebrons (LeBron James), the Paul Georges, the Danny Grangers,
the Rudy Gays, you've got so many great small forwards that can do it all.
I'm sure I'm missing a lot of names, but I think we can go down as one of the best groups
as well in our era.
I think everyone really respects what those guys who came before us did and really admire
what they did.
And that's what's driving us right now and it's great to be a part of it."
Q. But even beyond that position though..?
"Yeah, that's just one position like you said, but if you throw in the point guards and the
shooting guards and the power forwards, and the centres, this is one of the best eras
of basketball right now.
I'm just glad I'm a part of it."
"Yeah the first half is a feel-out process.
We try to give the crowd exactly what they want to see, a lot of lobs, threes, dunks,
fast break points, but in the second half everyone's competitive natures kick in and
you know, at that point both teams want to win."
