My biggest problem with everything going on is the lack of understanding and the lack of respect in this world.
I love the process. It's like I've fallen in love with the process of trying to become great.
The hardest thing for me is to be patient and realize that it's not all going to happen right now. I just have to keep digging away, digging away. Just keep working on my game.
Growing up, I was always wearing my brother's hand-me-downs, so nothing ever fit me. I told myself whenever I have my own money and my own choice with what I get to wear, it's always going to fit me correctly.
I like to do a little bit of boldness but mixed in with a classic look. You don't have to do something crazy to stand out.
My everyday go-to style is a lot more casual. I like to wear suits to games, but during the day, going to the gym, I'm in my workout gear. Then if I'm going to lunch meetings, I like to keep it somewhat casual - short-sleeved button-ups, jeans, and sneakers.
Shoes are a big thing for me, just because it's hard to find shoes that fit me correctly.
I don't ever enjoy time away from the game. But it does make you appreciate what you have.
Every time something is taken away, you're forced to take a step back and realize how much that thing means to you. You don't realize what you've got until it's gone.
Contract year or not a contract year, I'm playing the exact same way and focused on the exact same things.
I don't think any guy goes into a season worrying about the next season.
It's always a little gross when you're guarding someone and you can see, like, hair coming from underneath his jersey.
I'm not a fan of seeing myself on TV.
I've always had a very dry sense of humor, and I've pretty much grown up on Will Ferrell, first on 'Saturday Night Live,' then 'Old School' and 'Wedding Crashers.'
I feel like people believe I'm thinking a different thing than I am because I have this look about me.
I wanted to be a complete player, and I felt like the dunks started to overshadow other parts of my game.
When the draft lottery came out, and the Clippers said they were gonna draft me, I went to Google to find out more about the Clippers because I didn't know a lot. And I was like, 'Okay, team owned by Donald Sterling.' So then I typed in 'Donald Sterling' in Google, and the first thing that pops up is 'Donald Sterling racist.'
I'm more than blessed to be able to play a PE sport for money.
I like to play physical, and I'm a big guy, and I think sometimes - maybe sometimes I am pushing somebody, and I don't realize how hard I'm pushing them. And then they do it back, and it's kind of like, 'Jeez!'
If I need to be, like, a guy that scores a lot, I'm willing to do that.
