If you do the best you can, you have nothing to be ashamed of. A defeat is not a disgrace.

The best player I've ever played against is Kobe Bryant. I have seen him do some stuff that is just unbelievable.

Off the floor I'm really laid back, like nothing really fazes me too much. But on the floor I do get emotional and a little carried away. However, I started playing when I was 13 to have fun with my teammates, and that never stopped. I enjoy traveling and having fun in the locker room with the guys. Life is too short to be miserable.

If theres an injury, for a couple games, you can have guys step in. But for a long period of time, it always catches up with you.

Of course parents want their children to confide in them.

I want to raise a family and have a couple of small Dirks running around. But it will not be easy to win my heart.
