Most guys who don't like me are either Democrats or Yankee fans.
I'm a good person. I don't wish hateful things on people. I don't hate anybody. I know that I treat people right.
I am much more of a geek than I am an athlete.
Have I said dumb things? Absolutely, who hasn't? But I have never backed away from being called out on something I did or said wrong.
When you're having a bad day at work, a lot of times it's your head. When you're having good days, a lot of times it's the absence of the mind.
I've made mistakes, I've misspoke, I am sure I will again sometime, but that happens, that's part of being human in my book. I'm OK with that. I've never done it maliciously, ever.
The things I was allowed to experience, the people I was able to call friends, teammates, mentors, coaches and opponents, the travel, all of it, are far more than anything I ever thought possible in my lifetime.

I did everything I could to win every time I was handed the ball.
I did all the stupid things you'd expect from a 21-year-old kid with money.
