You can't worry about what people say, but... People always harp on athletes being selfish individualists.

I love getting in the open floor and running.

Money is not an issue to me. My mother always tells me, money, it comes and it goes.

I never expected to leave college early-especially after just one year.

People in general misunderstand me. I'm very aware of the stereotype that comes with being a basketball player. But I'm well-rounded. I'm cultured. It's funny: When I speak, people are like, "Wow! You can really talk." I'm like, "What did you expect?"

I've modeled my game after Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.

I wanted to take on a little bit more of a leadership role. I'm getting older and things are coming to me more and I have to take responsibility for that.
