People forget that I'm a human being, just because I play a sport that everybody loves. We're human. We're not invincible. We share the same feelings and emotions that people on the outside feel. I don't think people really understand that.

I wanted a NBA basketball gym at my house and that's what I worked hard for and I was able to achieve that.

It doesn't matter what any of my teammates have said about me.

People have doubted me and criticized me my whole life, and that's why I'm the way I am.

I just feel like I know what I bring to the game. Very confident in what I do.

Off the field I'm down to earth. I'm a very caring person. I'm a very giving person.

I may not say it all the time or I may not pray as much as I need to, but I am not forgetting where I came from and how I got to be where I am today.
