kids thinking way
My family used to call me an oversized kid and I think that's pretty accurate in some ways.
struggle judging honor
The way you talk to your teammates and push them and the way you treat them is important. There is a fine line between trying to help your teammates and criticizing them. The toughest part for me is how to keep my teammates accountable but at the same time do it in a loving way that doesnt judge or condemn them. It's definitely been a struggle and I'm trying to learn how to lead consciously in a way that honors God.

Trying to make the NBA is one of the very few areas where a Harvard degree won't necessarily help.
team winning play
I just try to make sure that when I get there on the floor, I play as hard as I can and try to do everything I can to help the team win.
growing-up kids thinking
I think right now the way society's going, I think role models are important, and kids need direction. If I didn't have that direction growing up, who knows what I could be doing, because I've been lost many times in my life, and I've had to have someone guide me back on the right path.

I love eating junk food. I'm a huge snacker, chips and candy.
heart play trying
When I'm on the court, I try to play with all my emotion and heart.
years spain done
I absolutely would not have liked playing in Spain or somewhere like that, so I was just gonna do it a year. Then I was gonna be done.
college asian stereotype
Coming out of college into the draft, being Asian-American and being from Harvard, that's not going to be an advantage because of stereotypes.
affects aspect daily faith god itself life people relationship segment single true
When you think about your relationship with Christ, it really just affects every aspect of your life. I think a lot of people try to segment off, like, 'This is church, so this is God, this is my daily life, this is my job,' but I think true faith is when it manifests itself in every single aspect of your life.
