Every memory I have from when I was a kid involves basketball.

If it's controversy out there, or if it's some false stories out there, I want to clear it up. That's just what I'm all about.

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

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.

Last, I just want to thank God again. He's the first and the last. Alpha and Omega. I thank you for saving my life.

I miss Seattle a lot. It was my first city that I lived in on my own. It was a great city to play for. It was unfortunate for the fans what happened, but it’s time to move on. I’m sure they’ve moved on. But in the back of my mind, I still have a thing for Seattle and always am going to remember what they’ve done for me.

My mom just wants to make sure that my heart is always in whatever I do and I'm in things for the right reasons.
