I play basketball to win a championship. That championship is everything to me. And thats what gets people to buy in to your brand - being a winner.

Even today a lot of people know me because of my grandfather.

Family was real important in putting me on my path. I'm so blessed to come from a home with a mother and a father.

I grew up on games like Madden and NBA Jam, then moved on to NFL 2K on Dreamcast. The game I really loved was Virtua Tennis.

Ive been fortunate to be short my entire life. Theres only one position Ive ever had to play, and thats point guard. So Ive always had to be that leader. And that was my job: you know, to talk.

For me, it's all about who you are. Some athletes may feel a responsibility. Some may not. One thing I've talked with my family and team about is doing more. Trying to make an impact.
