My acting coach I've got here, Richard Lawson, he's been doing good, just telling me to calm down sometimes and just be me.

I don't [know] what everybody else's motives are, I don't know what your motives are, but mine is to portray the real life of an NBA player. And it's not all about I just do everything, like I'm the hardest worker, or I love to play basketball every day, I go to the gym at eight and don't leave until five. No, that's not how it is. That's not how I am.

I'm a basketball player. That's what I do and what I love but that's just not all who I am. I'm talented in a lot of different areas.

I'm an old-school type of guy.

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

I like the nucleus that we have. I'm excited. I want to be here as long as possible. It's like family. I love being here.

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