My dad, who was a teacher, used to tell me that a teacher's goal should be for every one of their students to get an A.

When next year's team shows up, I try to help every player become as good as they can be.

However, I want to do what is good for the people of Montreal and the team.

I will take my punishment and come back next year to help the club and younger players to win the cup.
If we win trophies, it is the most important thing. Of course, it's good for a player to win individual awards and I will never say I don't want to be the best player in the league or I don't want to be the PFA Player of the Season.

I help my team win. That's overall what I do best. If you watch me play, I'm usually going to be on the winning team. Whether it's scoring enough points or rebounding enough or guarding the best player on the other team, I'm gonna do what it takes to win.
