As a youngster in the projects, I definitely didn't have anything. So if you get something, you want to be able to give back and help others.

I play knowing that there is somebody watching me out there in the crowd that has never had the opportunity to watch a game before and it might be the only chance they ever to see one, live in person. Michael Jordan once said that in an interview, and I really took it to heart, when ever I step on the floor I play for that person. Also, I always know my grandfather's out there watching.

The only thing I wanted in free agency was an opportunity to continue to chase that dream and continue to win championships.?

Defense. That' the thing I'm known for.

When I'm at my grandparents', I know I literally have to do nothing but relax, enjoy myself, and enjoy my family members' company.
