I had never been to Oklahoma City before. I had no clue. Just heard there were a lot of tornadoes.
I need energy every day. Whether I'm leaving home and going to practice or getting in the car with my two kids to take my son to school - I need all the energy I can get.
I have a Dominique Wilkins Hawks jersey that I still wear. That's probably my favorite one. What's funny is that I spend all this time collecting jerseys, and now people are out there collecting mine.
That's the great thing about big cities: Nobody is judging. You really get a chance to show who you are with your style.
I'm not the greatest long-distance shooter, I know that. But I know if I can get around that free-throw line area, a lot of times you've just got to hope I miss.
The least amount of buttons [in suit], the better. If you have to go with three, you can go three. But all that eight-button stuff? Nuh-uh, not a fan.
One of the things you learn when you go overseas is how much a lot of the countries overseas really just like to enjoy life.
For me, hip-hop culture is involved in everything - it's in me, in who I am, in how I dress, how I talk. It's in my son and my wife.
Family was real important in putting me on my path. I'm so blessed to come from a home with a mother and a father.
If my son is happy, then I am happy.
Whatever I have to do to help us win, I'll do.
I play basketball to win a championship. That championship is everything to me. And thats what gets people to buy in to your brand - being a winner.
Ive been fortunate to be short my entire life. Theres only one position Ive ever had to play, and thats point guard. So Ive always had to be that leader. And that was my job: you know, to talk.
Being close ain't good enough.
