I can't worry about what other people say.

A lot of players know how to play the game, but they really don't know how to play the game, if you know what I mean. They can put the ball in the hoop, but I see things before they even happen. You know how a guy can make his team so much better? That's one thing I learned from watching Jordan.

You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.

As a professional athlete a lot is going to be said about you - but I just try to move forward and try to achieve my goals.

Every night on the court I give my all, and if I'm not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.

I played football for a team called the East Dragons on the east side of town. We only had six regular season games. And six games I played tail back and I had 18 touchdowns in six games. That's when I knew I had some athletic ability.

I was so used to going out and winning state championships and playing in the postseason.
