The hardest thing to do is to trust people. Even if you know them from way back when, it's hard to trust people. There's a lot we have to deal with, and it's the price of fame.

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.

In Orlando, I handled a lot of stuff the wrong way.

God says, Turn the other cheek. So there's no way I could play in a man's game.

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

Are you gonna be tough, or are you going to be tough?

Growing up, I played about every sport imaginable except soccer and hockey. I've always had a passion for basketball. I remember actually playing basketball when I was two or three years old. The time I knew that I could really take my game to the next level.
