Any time you can have your logo or your name on a shoe, growing up that's a dream come true.

I feel I can fit with any player in the world.

You've got to stay humble and hungry. Just keep working and thank God you have a chance to play in the NBA.

That's my main thing: I want to be on the level those guys [Derrick Rose,Russell Westbrook, Kevin Durant] are on.

I've seen a lot of highlights of Steve Kerr knocking down the big shots ... when a legend, Michael Jordan, trusted his teammate and passed it to him. He might have played two minutes, but he was ready to knock down the big shot.

When you're sending emails, you live and die by your subject line. Making it personal or funny can increase your open rate 10 times or more. At the very least, try to pitch some value rather than pointless bragging. 'Work Faster!' is better than 'Version 10.4 now available!'

I've got a lot of work to do, a lot of people to make proud.
