People say you don't need a father to be successful. I take offense to that. I had an argument with my mom about Father's Day and why it's not celebrated like Mother's Day.
The hardest thing to do is to trust people. Even if you know them from way back when, it's hard to trust people. There's a lot we have to deal with, and it's the price of fame.
Nobody thought that I was going to make it to the NBA. I only had a couple of believers growing up.
I had a lot of negativity growing up, so I understand how to block the negativity out.
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.

We're not trying to get into the playoffs. We're just trying to win games.

We're gaining a lot of confidence in each other, in the new offense and with the coach. Things are looking pretty good for us right now.
We were all embarrassed after that game, and I know exactly how Toronto feels.
We knew they were undersized down low, so we wanted to take advantage of that. Tony played really big for us and was a big key in the win.
We're trying to send a message to teams that when they come into our house they are going to have a tough game ahead of them.
