Sometimes you surprise yourself with what you do under pressure.

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?"

If somebody attacks me with words, I'm always like, Do you know me? Do you know me that well? Let's have a beer and talk about it.

The stereotype of a leader is one who talks and peps people up and things like that, but in actuality you have to listen to your teammates.

I remember telling my friends I wish I had stayed in school and they didn't understand: "You've got all this money and everything you want." But it wasn't about the money. It was about how I felt right then.

I havent won on my birthday since college, so its good to play hard and get a win by double figures.

Life is not going to be sweet all the time.
