I used to play Bulls versus Blazers on Sega Genesis when I was growing up, but now the games are so realistic and now you can see know why.
I try to celebrate all the holidays that the Scriptures talk about.
I'm pretty fatigued. Overall, I feel pretty good. There's still a little discomfort. I'm just seeing what it takes to get back to 100 percent.
I was just a regular kid in poverty, struggling.
Swag is something that I've had for a long time.
I had a Hebraic wedding in New York, so I'm definitely Jewish.
I have been aware since my youth that I am a Hebrew through my mother, and that is something that has played a subtle but important role in my development.
It's just a matter of being an NBA superstar, ... You can love it or hate it. You get a lot of things that come with it: magazine covers, cover of a video game, mega-deals, fancy cars, expensive clothes, jewelry. You've got everything at your disposal.
I have to be 100 percent, no doubt. But I'm itching to get out there. I can't wait to play with this team and see how much better we can be with myself in the equation. If everything keeps moving at this pace and there are no setbacks, I should be out there before long.
Every year I will stock my locker up with body wash, different lotions, different oils, and different creams.
The fact that I am not Jewish by religion does not prevent me from connecting to the Jewish nation's spirituality.
