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 love getting in the open floor and running.

We make a living playing basketball. You don't have to be a tough guy or a hard-ass to play this sport. You can be tough but you don't have to have that bravado. Sometimes it's good. But I'm not going to be someone I'm not. It's just me being me.

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.

Just listen to your instincts. Don't talk to someone or start a relationship out of pity.

Parenthood changes your outlook on life. Makes you realize what things are important. The responsibility is huge. Just to have that responsibility in your hands is a little frightening, but it's exciting at the same time.

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