I'm not going to put my energy into dunking every time I get the ball. That's stupid.

I can cook a little bit but pretty much when I get back from practice I am pretty tired that I just order out.

I think because I am a proven rookie that it is going to help me in the long run.

I'm not into jewelry. I've got some earrings but they're not too expensive. There are guys who drop a hundred grand for a chain. The public's got it right - a lot of NBA stars are arrogant and like to spend lots of money and have lots of girlfriends and all that.

I guess if you're a normal person and all of a sudden you're getting $10 million a year, it can go to your head.

I'm not super-athletic.

I was struggling at Rookie Camp to be quite honest with you. Basically, it was a week of being locked down like in jail for me. I would say about 50 percent of it was useful. The most challenging part of it was off the court. I mean, man we were just sitting there at times. We had meetings from about 10 a.m. in the morning to about 10 at night and you can't get a workout in at all.
