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

I know who I am and what kind of teammate I've always been.

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 changed up everything around me. I hold myself more accountable in certain situations. I try to be a better man, a better father, a better teammate.

I work extremely hard in the weight room, and also on the court to get better and make sure I keep my body in shape.

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.

That's one thing I pride myself on is working hard in the weight room, working hard in practice, trying to become a better player.
