I've been on the side where you have nothing, and now I'm on the side where anything I want is there for me. When I didn't have the means to do whatever I wanted to do, I still had peace.

I'm a fun person to be around, laid back, love to have fun.

I know you can't please everybody; you can't make everybody happy, but just getting that perception that I don't care about basketball and what it brings is a lie.

I hated that perception that I didn't work hard, that I really don't love basketball.

You really can't please people. I know everybody's attention is on what I'm doing on the floor.

I was supposed to be in the NBA. I was supposed to travel the world and make the world a better place.

The biggest thing is always being around people that are going to lift you up and not bring you down. That's why I prayed for God to send me some good friends. He's done that. I don't really have a lot of friends, but the friends I do have are great.
