You go from high school, to the NBA, and you're thrown in the fire.

My team in Orlando was a team full of people who nobody wanted, and I was the leader and I led that team with a smile on my face.

It was more of me rushing my shots than anything. Thats the biggest thing for me. I was making good moves, but at the end of my moves, I was rushing all my shots. I learned a lesson.

I've always played 'NBA Live' since I was a kid, so to be on the cover is a blessing.

But at the end of the day, every star, every person that been iconic, has gone through a time in their lives where it was just bad. Everybody. It just made them better.

I didn't need to meet with other teams. I didn't care about what offers were on the table. I wanted to be in Atlanta. I wanted to represent for this team.
