Good for him … He’s played like an all-star this year, for sure.”“Obviously the player that I am, it goes with the team success,” he said in a conversation with the Star. “I want to win, that’s the only thing I’m really focused on, so it was tough, especially after not making it the first time.

“I never put a cap on what I can accomplish. That’s just me, period,” he said. “For some people might be seen a certain way but I do believe in me and I believe in the work that I put in and I won’t put any limit on what I can accomplish.”
