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

I just want to grow spiritually with the Lord. I'm keeping strong at it, just trying to make my walk with faith a little better.

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 want people to know what they didn't know about me. I just wanted them to know the real side.

I'm going to let you know the real, and I'm going to let you know the real as I can about me.

I play because I have fun. The vets of this team, I just wanted to say thanks to them. You guys mean so much to me. I can have a terrible day and walk in the gym and have Hasheem smile at me. That will change my day.

Work harder than your opponent.
