I don't have to be anybody I'm not.

I've been more content with just who I am.

Every memory I had growing up was involving a basketball. I didn't go to the prom and stuff like that. It was always basketball for me.

This was an extremely difficult decision as I take great pride in representing our country. I know that I owe it to my USA Basketball teammates to be totally invested in the experience. After going through training camp with USAB, I realized I could not fulfill my responsibilities to the team from both a time and energy standpoint. I need to take a step back and take some time away, both mentally and physically in order to prepare for the upcoming NBA season. I will be rooting for USAB and look forward to future opportunities with them.

I'm obviously not going to give you everything about my whole life, but as far as my personality, you see me all the time from watching the games.

It feels good to come here and be a winning program.

I was always in the gym. People would look at me crazy because I spent so much time there. But that's what it was about. I'm glad I did it.
