Basketball has always and will always come first to me but it's also given me the chance to do really fun things and work with really fun people and its something I'm lucky to have.

My goal is to let people see who I am as a person, not just a basketball player. Many people see athletes in a certain way - flat and one dimensional. I want to change that view.

Sometimes you get lucky - you don't put much work in and you're successful anyway. But over the course of time, if you really want to shape your path, I think it's about the quality of the time you put in.

It's cool to actually have my own trading card.

I wanted to play in the NBA, I wanted to play sports, I wanted to do all this. And I have. I think I am becoming a man.

Energy is something you can control, in everything you do, you're going to face people more talented than you. I set myself apart by bringing more energy than they do.

This has been a dream for me.
