I always promised myself that if I was in position to be successful, I wouldn't take it for granted, because I know in the past how hard I've worked.

One thing I've become is introspective.

My teammates know I'm down to earth. I'll joke with them. But when it comes to basketball, I try to be serious about it.

I realize I'm a free spirit. I like to be happy. I have to have more control of my happiness.

I think I have a great sense of me as a person.

I just like to win basketball games. That's what motivates me.

I know what makes me happy. I know what makes me miserable. I'm trying to stay on the happy side.
