I thought it was normal to recycle pants and shoes from your older cousins. That was just my way of life. At the end of the month, there was not much food in the refrigerator and you're hoping the first comes so food can come again. You never forget those things.

The coaches are working with me every day. And if you feel like the coach is behind you, you'll take some chances.?

I have great players around me. I have a great coach talking to me all the time, constantly teaching me. I feel reborn, like I'm learning every day. When I show up, I'm happy.

My grandfather built my first hoop. It was a peach basket up against a tree, and we played in the dirt. I couldn't have been more than 6 when he put it up, and I just started playing.

Even to this day, I rarely read any articles on myself. I won't watch anything on television on myself.

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

If we play hard and we compete, we match up with any team. I feel like we have the personnel to go all the way.
