My first dunk was actually in sixth grade.

I like to smile, even in intense situations. My opponents don't know how to react when they see me smile.

I don't want or need to gain respect with what I do off the court. I want respect for what I do on the court.

My parents are my inspiration. Believe it or not, they're my personal coaches. After every game I still call them and get their take on how I played.

There's not a thing that any of you guys can say bad about me that would hurt my feelings... I'm not coming at you, what I'm saying is that, I'm willing to take that heat for my team, if we're playing well or if we're not playing well.

Everybody is different. Everybody has different styles. Just do it the best way you know how.

Life's not real easy right now. But I guess I'd rather have it this way than not at all.
