"Being in the NBA, you have to be happy," Afflalo said. "You have to be happy, and this is by far the happiest place I've been, not because I was able to play some of my best basketball. Just on the court, off the court, the environment, the city, being here with John and Jeff, I just think there's a combination of so many things that just really fulfilled me as a person. And when you're happy as a person, I think it brings the best out of you as a professional."
