When I'm on the court, it's like I'm in heaven.
The thing I love about the NBA game is that it's a playmaker's league.
I've always been taught to care what other people think. My grandmother and mother taught me to project a positive image of myself.
I'm a role model. I have overcome the negativity, and I'm playing.
Sometimes I still don't know if I'm prepared to go through the entire season, dealing with the different personalities, the crowds, the politics.
I'm one of those players that I think I can do what's asked of me. Whether it's putting the ball in the basket, rebounding the ball, diving on the floor, making other people better, I'm willing to do anything just to win.
