It's part of my game, getting to the free-throw line and being aggressive. If you say that I get superstar calls or I get babied by the refs, that's just taking away from how I play. That's disrespectful to me.

I told Grant Hill back there – I just got done playing against him – as a second grader I had a Pistons Grant Hill jersey. That was the first time I walked into a gym. That’s when I fell in love with the game. My mom, I think she just wanted to get me and my brothers out of the house for a few hours. When I walked into the gym, I fell in love with the game.

I want to have some stuff that I keep for myself, my friends, my family, my loved ones. That's how I view.

My style has changed and evolved mainly because I've grown to have more confidence in myself.

Me as a person, I'm not the president of the NBPA (National Basketball Players Association). I don't even know what to say. I'm not like this perfect, buttoned-up, suit-and-tie guy.

I'm just trying to grow. That's one thing I told myself is, 'Don't worry about who people say is the best player'.

I know what to keep to myself. I know what I want to give up.
