Perception rules the world. Everyone knows that. Where we live and where we're from, you just can't escape it.

The thing I love about the NBA game is that it's a playmaker's league.

My grandma always said bad things don't last forever.

We're all products of our environment. The key is not to fall.

There was a possibility I could have been out of the NBA. It's taught me something that was a little deeper than basketball. I'm talking about life decisions.

I'm a role model. I have overcome the negativity, and I'm playing.

In New York, the dunk is not the thing. To break somebody down and shoot a J-that's as big as a dunk in New York.
