Larry Bird is like a basketball god to me for what he's done for my career.

I don't mind being a professional. As an athlete you are a role model, people are watching what you wear, listening to everything you say.

Gone are the days in America where we're able to graduate from High School and perhaps eventually get a job that pays $100,000, that barrier has been put up. If you want to work at McDonald's, where is your degree?

The one thing about basketball is that it continues to evolve and I love it so much. It does so much for me in my life. I've played on every level and I've been fortunate enough to be around greatness on every level.

Nobody wants to be a bottom feeder and deal with the reality that you have one of the worst records, if not the worst record, in the league. Obviously, we have to turn that around and turn it around fast. I feel like if we ever show up in the same place at the same time we can make some noise in this league.

An athletic scholarship shouldn’t be the best opportunity to receive a quality education.
