“I am very excited about playing for Mr. Ballmer.” — Matt Barnes

I just think, obviously as players, we're held to a higher standard. I've had to watch myself on that, but I think if we're held to higher standards, the owners should be held to even higher standards.

I love to be physical.

I was playing tackle football in the street at five years old. Always being physical. Always being tough, just like a man's man. It was just always about being tough.

I grew up in the '80s in an era that was tough. The Pistons, Celtics, Knicks, Charles Oakley, Anthony Mason. It wasn't dirty. It was just men playing basketball.
