I've modeled my game after Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.
I know how the game is played, and I'm always working on it.
I want to go get a stop on defense so James can do it again. It was a big spurt for him. That made then get out of their game plan and play him closer. But when he does that, we want to make sure we capitalize and get timely stops. And that's what got us right back in the game.
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.
To be honest, politics is so weird. I think it's more heavy than religion.
If somebody attacks me with words, I'm always like, Do you know me? Do you know me that well? Let's have a beer and talk about it.
I don't really know what depression is, I don't think I've felt it. I probably have. Things aren't the same when you're losing. You're not happy. That can happen. But I try to keep them separate as much as possible.
If you're not getting better in the summer, you're wasting your time.
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.
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.
Eventually, people are going to find out I can play.
I wanted to take on a little bit more of a leadership role. I'm getting older and things are coming to me more and I have to take responsibility for that.
Money is not an issue to me. My mother always tells me, money, it comes and it goes.
My goal is to be able to play wherever my team needs me.
