Rolexes never lose value, so I started getting a couple of them. I like them. Not only do they look good but they work very well.
Coming out of high school, I think it was good for me instead of going to college because college and the NBA are two different things. You can dominate on the college level, but the NBA is a whole different story. The dudes that do the best are the ones who work hard.
I've been on the side where you have nothing, and now I'm on the side where anything I want is there for me. When I didn't have the means to do whatever I wanted to do, I still had peace.
I would never, ever desert my child. A lot of my friends didn't have fathers growing up, and they were very upset that their fathers weren't around. I was lucky to have mine around.
It was more of me rushing my shots than anything. Thats the biggest thing for me. I was making good moves, but at the end of my moves, I was rushing all my shots. I learned a lesson.
You go from high school, to the NBA, and you're thrown in the fire.
My purpose in life, my goal for the NBA is to preach God's word - not just try to beat everybody over the head with a Bible but just being a good example and always conducting myself in a Christian-like manner.
When I'm anywhere, I'm going to show God that I'm thankful just for life. I'm living out my dream. This is what I want to do.
Nobody thought that I was going to make it to the NBA. I only had a couple of believers growing up.
As far juicing goes, I've done it for a couple of years; it's very good to cleanse the body. Doing the smoothies and getting the fruits and veggies in there just gives you more energy. You'll feel quite different after a couple weeks of doing it. Be consistent with it and you'll see it really makes a difference.
Sugar can cause fatigue and it can also build up on your joints. It can lead to those injuries where you've got nagging pain on those joints.
Everybody needs to realize that it doesn't matter how old you are or how young you are, you still can be a Christian and live for God. It's not easy but that's why we have God's word and He forgives us when we do something we shouldn't be doing. You know, God sent His son to die for us and He paid that sacrifice so you can go to Heaven.
We held Sacramento to nine points in the third quarter.
We're not trying to get into the playoffs. We're just trying to win games.
