Whether you're a veteran like me or a high school athlete, the most important thing you can do is keep your body healthy.

Obviously, you want to get the best deal possible for yourself, but teams just don't want to spend that money for fear of being in the luxury tax.

In high school, I was just a guy who ran the court and played defense. Now I have the whole package.

You've got to love the game and the game will love you back.

Being on the Reebok brand for eight years now, I understand where their focus is and who they cater their on-court and off-court shoes towards. Right now, it's basically the movement. There's a new retro- it's in style, it's hot and again it's all about comfort. Comfort for me is everything. I've played many and many of basketball games and so now when I'm off the court, I still want to put something on that's comfortable but still be able to have the style of a basketball-type shoe.

I'm amazed at my progress.

Im not impressed by anything the Miami Heat does.
