Playing in sold out arenas several nights a week is something I have never experience before. I want to experience that. I want to experience that in my first year and build on that.
I'm not a fan of baseball really.
I'm not super-athletic.
I just want to try to ignore the scrutiny and all the distractions and just play hard basketball and let the best come... Improving game by game and trying to improve my game is what I want to do.
I'm not into jewelry. I've got some earrings but they're not too expensive. There are guys who drop a hundred grand for a chain. The public's got it right - a lot of NBA stars are arrogant and like to spend lots of money and have lots of girlfriends and all that.
A lot of rookies hit the wall after 50 or 60 games.
I'm not going to put my energy into dunking every time I get the ball. That's stupid.
I guess if you're a normal person and all of a sudden you're getting $10 million a year, it can go to your head.
It's definitely different in the States. Americans are much different people compared to us. We're much more laid back. I itch to get back to Australia every summer because it's so fast paced there and so stressful.
I can cook a little bit but pretty much when I get back from practice I am pretty tired that I just order out.
