I learned very quickly that the NBA is a very rough place, physically and mentally. There's no mercy.

I love getting in the open floor and running.

To be honest, politics is so weird. I think it's more heavy than religion.

There were hard days but I never felt sorry for myself.

I hate to lose. When I was a kid, I used to cry every time I lost a game, up until, like, the 8th grade. I used to go ballistic.

Experience has taught me a lot, and I don't want to let that fall by the wayside.

I know how the game is played, and I'm always working on it.
