It's fun that I get to live out my dream every single day. It's a blessing. I can't lose sight of that and I've just got to keep pushing.

For me, as a 14-year-old aspiring to be in the NBA, I wanted to hear from players.

I've learned that it's harder to try to put on this goody two-shoes persona when that's not me.

I’ve been second my whole life.

I play basketball. I can't control the media, the way I play. I can't control all of it.

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 just want to grow spiritually with the Lord.
