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

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

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

Life is not going to be sweet all the time.

I always want to do something groundbreaking, something different. I think that's what it's always about. If you have the means to do it, why not?

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?"
