I love being part of a team, any team. Not just playing, but the camaraderie, the whole thing. It's just what I get off on.

It's cool to challenge myself to learn new things as opposed to going to play basketball in the park for millionth time.

I am a huge believer in giving back and helping out in the community and the world. Think globally, act locally I suppose. I believe that the measure of a person's life is the affect they have on others.

I think it was wishful thinking of me to dream of being an NBA player. And once I made the NBA I dreamed of being an All-Star, but I never dreamed of being an MVP.

Besides P.E., geography was my best class in high school. I was in this gifted class when I was younger, and it was wicked!

I think it's important that people stand up for what they believe in. It's important that people discuss things.

You make your own luck in life, so I'm not criticizing anyone - and I'm not even talking about myself for that - but I mean, every year, look at the team that wins. You can't control everything in a team sport. So I'm not going to cry about it, but yeah, there are moments where I'm like, "F - k." But I say it almost in an appreciative way, in a way where I realize it's great not everyone can do it. I wasn't fortunate enough to do it, but that's what makes winning a title so special.
