I probably play games more than I practice.

First off, I'd like to thank God for changing my life. It let me really realize what life is all about. Basketball is just a platform for me to inspire people, and I realize that.

With everything I do, I just try to be myself.

I've just got to let my teammates know in practice, without even telling them, that I don't think I'm ahead of anybody.

I don't mind talking about the game. I don't mind talking about what we go through as players, because I want people to get a deeper look inside instead of looking at stats all the time or looking at numbers or just watching the game. I want them to get a pulse on us as players, and a lot of players might not want that, but that's what I want.

If I'd gone straight to the NBA, I don't think I would have been ready as a player or a person.

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