I don't play basketball for the money. I don't play it for the crowd. When I didn't have a friend, when I was lonely, I always knew I could grab that orange pill and go hoop. I could go and dunk on somebody. If things weren't going right, I could make a basket and feel better.
My approach never changes from start to start.
Chicago was big for me as far as developing as a person and as a basketball player.
I leave my heart on the court every night. I earn my keep.
I've always been a player and a person who wanted to be the best at whatever he did.
When I came to Ole Miss, everyone expected me to bring the program back to its glory days. I didn't want to put that kind of pressure on myself.
