I learned at a young age to dribble with both hands, and that allows me to be more creative when I go against bigger and stronger opponents.
My best move is probably my pull up jump shot.
People have always doubted whether I was good enough to play this game at this level. I thought I was, and I thought I could be. What other people thought was really always irrelevant to me.
I am a huge believer in giving back and helping out in the community and the world. Think globally, act locally I suppose. I believe that the measure of a person's life is the affect they have on others.
My approach has been that a player with determination and a willingness to work harder than anyone else can accomplish anything. It's a simple formula. I've found it works.
Sometimes I'm very impatient. I also feel the need to please everyone, which is unnecessary and impossible.
I don't care what other people say. I fight every day to be the best player I can.
The NBA has the best point guards in the world, so it is important that I come ready to play every night.
You can't worry about things you have no control over.
You should always want your coach to be critical. It gives you an opportunity to learn and to overcome adversity
The pick and roll is more about bodies and eyes then speed and being fast
I think it's important that people stand up for what they believe in. It's important that people discuss things.
You should be able to voice your opinion and respect the voice of the other side. You should be willing to educate yourself and know what it is you're dealing with.
I'm playing; I'm here. I'm going to fight until they tell me they don't want me anymore.
