You want to remain hungry and stay in a good place as a competitor; at the same time, you want to be confident but not cocky. You have to realize that you can lose. We have to stay hungry, because losing is the worst thing that can happen now. That's a road we don't want to go down.
I'm just a basketball player, you know? Just put me where you need me.
My grandmother was always upbeat, a naturally happy person. I think I got that from her.
