I think that work has been the key for me. Just like they say shooting will become easy if you just keep working at it, well, I love the dribble game-that brings excitement to the game.

I realize that you have to be careful sometimes what you wish for.

I took it upon myself to be more aggressive. I wanted the ball. Coach gave me the ball and I just tried to attack (and) make plays, just take it to the rim and see what happens.

I always remind my kids that hard work pays off. They see that I take nothing for granted in life. It helps them stay grounded.

I would have to name two people - my parents. I've seen them come through adversity and work hard to create the best life for me and my siblings. Although I don't remember them together as a couple, I remember the love they had for their children.

Places you go in life - it opens your eyes up and you kind of understand who you are.

My will is to always be better and better and better. I've got the will to want to be the best.
