I've modeled my game after Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.
I think we all have our own different styles. [James] LeBron likes to be comfortable - he's going to be more comfortable over everything else. Dwyane [Wade Jr.] likes really stylish stuff. If you bring something questionable he'll try it.
Schoolwork came kind of natural to me, but when I brought home a grade that wasn't up to par, my parents let me know it.
I know how the game is played, and I'm always working on it.
When I was in school, my favorite subject was math. I took algebra and calculus. At an early age I grasped it and understood it quickly. I just enjoyed breaking the codes and solving problems.
I hate to lose. When I was a kid, I used to cry every time I lost a game, up until, like, the 8th grade. I used to go ballistic.
I'm real conscious about money still. That's how I came up and you can't shake that.
I never expected to leave college early-especially after just one year.
Eventually, people are going to find out I can play.
I had gotten rid of the crying when I got to high school, though it happened again when I was a junior. We lost in the state championship. It was kind of the same situation, camera in my face, and then that's when I realized it was over I had my moment.
I love getting in the open floor and running.
I can motivate myself fine just by wanting to be my best.
I had a turnover and three missed shots down the stretch. I just have to make sure I calm my nerves.
I havent won on my birthday since college, so its good to play hard and get a win by double figures.
