If I'm educated and passionate about a topic, I'll answer the question. But I also know when to shut the hell up.

I want the younger kids, the basketball players in high school and college to hear from me and let them know that when you come to the league, this is what happens and this is how I feel as an NBA player. And it's not all peachy keen.

I've got a long way to go to being the ultimate best, but I think my time is now. And I'm starting to enter my prime.

I want to show people who I really am, especially aspiring basketball players who want to be at this level. That's what I'm about.

I'm just content with myself, happy with myself.

I like what I like, I am who I am, I know what I want to do, you know what I'm saying?

I don’t watch a lot of other basketball away from the gym. But I do look at LeBron’s box score. I want to see how many points, rebounds and assists he had, and how he shot from the field. If he had 30 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, I can tell you exactly how he did it, what type of shots he made and who he passed to.
