I'm my own biggest critic, and the only way I'm going to improve is to see what I was doing wrong.

You don't have to appreciate me - I hope you underestimate me. That way, when I have a good game, it'll hit you even harder.

If you want to win, you have to sacrifice and do what makes the team work most efficiently.

Leaders set the tone for their peers. Peers look up to them and say, 'They're doing it, so I'm doing it.'

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 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.

I'm real conscious about money still. That's how I came up and you can't shake that.
