An athlete needs to read situations before they happen.

Everybody was calling. I think everybody called every player in the league. Thats history right there.

I'm scared of needles.

People are still trying to figure out who I am. Most people just say I play the game the right way.

Now is a time where social media allows people to be heard on a different level. Everyone is using their voice.

I've decided to listen to my doctors and get the procedure I need on my knee. USA Basketball said I had to do what was best for me. They want me to be obviously as healthy as possible so I can continue to play this game at a high level.

You've got to respect the game and you've got to respect what the people that have played have done for the game.
