Wesley Matthews: After my rookie year with the playoffs, I thought I was going to go back to Utah. Portland came in. Five-year deal. I was the lowest-paid player in the NBA my first year and then my next year I was making more than Blake Griffin and Stephen Curry and all of them.
Q. Hardest player you had to guard? Wesley Matthews: Hardest player I had to guard in their peak. I mean, it's going to be Kobe Bryant. It's going to be Kobe but if we take him out of it, Joe Johnson was a demon. I was strong. Like I'm strong. I'm fighting, fighting, fighting. Bump bump. Next thing I know, that ball's like out the net. [laughter] I was like, "Oh shit." said, "He just walked me down like that." Y'all ain't going to help me. Yo, Joe Johnson's a menace. But then you know who else? Brandon Roy. Roy is one of the coldest basketball players. But I mean, I had prime James, Kyrie, KD, Russ...

Terence Davis: But that dog and that hunger will always be there within you. You want to go out and prove you want to get better, and now that I’m injured, I feel like nothing but to prove to people that I can come back from an injury like this. I’ve seen clips of Kevin Durant talking, all these guys, DeMarcus Cousins, Wesley Matthews, who have gone through this type of injury and comeback, returned to performing at high levels, and that’s what I’m out to do. Medically, I am here in Los Angeles now. I have surgery [January 16] with Dr. Richard Ferkel of the Southern California Orthopedic Institute. He’s the same guy who did Klay Thompson and Cousins surgeries.
