The only nickname I've ever had is Merlin, like the magician. I don't know why.

I would have loved to play against Bill Russell. He was such a force.

In all seriousness, it really should be difficult for me to be too strange. After all, a great family raised me.

I have always liked knives. Then somebody gave me one. Then somebody gave me another one. Then I liked having them and started buying them. I started finding ones I liked, ones with funky blades.

The first time I played against Seattle was the only time I felt destroyed. Vin Baker just manhandled me. The whole thing, their double teams, their movement, everything.

I am who I am because of the people who I grew up with and where I'm from.

I'm just going to play whatever game is in front of me.
