I think I may have too much of a scientific mindset and am always looking for the caveats and qualifications in any situation. I never thought seriously of doing a PhD until relatively late in the day. I was always diligent at the book-work at university but the brightest amongst my friends all seemed to have a more intuitive grasp of the subject.

I do a little sign on the court every time i make a shot or a good pass and i pound my chest and point to the sky - it symbolizes that i have a heart for God. It’s something that my mom and I came up with in college and I do it every time I step on the floor as a reminder of who i’m playing for.

I'm pretty in tune with everything that happens on the PGA TOUR. Jordan Spieth is my guy. I love watching him play.

I try to use every game as an opportunity to witness. I try to do a little signal every time I make a shot as a way to preach the message in little ways that I can.

All 14 guys on the team have sacrificed something to get to this point.

In my terms, "neurocognitive efficiency" is being able to make smarter, faster decisions on the floor.

I'm pretty confident, let's just say that, in my game right now, for what it is. So if that means a win, then I'll be real happy.
