I'm not like the next Michael Jordan, but I'm also not what everyone saw me as before I started playing in the NBA, either.

For me, when I get knocked down, I really try to get back up and go at it again. I don't like to give up.

I've always been a target. Everyone looks me and says, 'I'm not going to let that Asian kid embarrass me. I'm going to go at him.' That's how it's been my whole life.

The way you talk to your teammates and push them and the way you treat them is important. There is a fine line between trying to help your teammates and criticizing them. The toughest part for me is how to keep my teammates accountable but at the same time do it in a loving way that doesnt judge or condemn them. It's definitely been a struggle and I'm trying to learn how to lead consciously in a way that honors God.

I want to be a representative and be a role model for the Asian American community.

It seems like everybody's perception of me is very bipolar. To one group, it's overpaid, overrated; to another group, it's underpaid, underrated, underdog. It's funny to me because there's no real balance.

I would be a pastor. It is something I think about doing when my playing days are over.
