I've been playing youth basketball ever since I was in sixth grade; I've been traveling ever since I was in sixth grade, so I'm used to it.

I wont ever put myself in a bad position so that people can say bad things about me. I make smart decisions, and my friends and my family, they are all there for the right reason.

McDonald's is over with. But chips and candy and stuff, it's going to be hard to get away from that.

All I got to do is keep getting the most out of each one of my days and keep trying to be the best athlete I can become.

I put that on myself with not telling the Knicks. It was just bad timing but I'm not perfect, far from it. The front office and my teammates, they knew where I was coming from when I told them what happened.
