I think a lot of the media love the game and hate the people who play it.

Lamar is just Lamar. My teammates probably can explain that a little better than I can. If I just go out there and do what I do and be myself, it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm always going to be under a microscope, and I haven't always handled it well.

I did some things I regret, and I know there are people who think they know me. I've heard the things they say, and some of them are hurtful.

Me. I like to have fun. I'm like a kid in a candy story out there.

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've always been taught to care what other people think. My grandmother and mother taught me to project a positive image of myself.
