<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Question: How do you cope with losing so many games after never having a losing season with the Pacers? Answer: You can't get used to it. You take it home every day. It stresses you out. It makes your whole body hurt. It's crazy. Q: What have you learned from this experience? A: I've learned how to be a leader. It's one thing to be on a winning team and say you're a leader. It's different with this team. I have to give these guys confidence and let them know it won't always be like this. And every night we have a chance to win. Q: Do you regret asking the Pacers for a trade? A: No, this is going to make me better in a lot of ways. Obviously when I asked to be traded I didn't think I was coming to Atlanta. But things happen for a reason. I have to continue to work and we'll get out of this thing eventually. Q: You'll be a free agent after this season and could have a lot of options. Are you looking forward to that? A: I'll have a lot of options. But I like Atlanta. I feel it's the type of situation if we turn it around everybody will fall in love with us. I see the reception the (NFL) Falcons get. Once you start winning, it's unbelievable. We can take over the city. Q: Did you ever look at the Pacers last season after the brawl and think about how you could have been starting for them instead of Atlanta after Ron Artest's suspension? A: Sometimes. But I thought if I had been on that team, there wouldn't have been a brawl. They were blowing them out and Ron would have been out of the game if I was there.</div> Source
