My whole thing was, just being me. Now, you look around the NBA and all of them have tattoos, guys wearing cornrows. Now you see the police officers with the cornrows. I took a beating for those types of things.
You have to go through good times and bad times to get where you're trying to go.
I take everything I learned from the streets and put it in my NBA game.
Life is short. Im gonna be happy with mine.
Being an All-Star is everything.
I don't want to just go to the playoffs, I don't want to go to the playoffs and win the first round, second round, and not win the whole thing because it's bittersweet.
