I've been playing this game, fortunately for me, since I was three years old. That's one of the reasons why this game is so special to me.
China was the worst place I've ever been in my life.
I can't even go down to the park anymore back home in Newark, New Jersey because my homeboys won't let me play. They tell me I'm too big time, too Hollywood, so they won't let me play out there no more.
There's six of us, and they didn't treat any of us different. They loved us the same. They treated us all the same, and I just want to be like them when I grow up.
I know a lot of people don't have their parents in their life - their mother, their father - but I've got the best two you could ask for, I swear.
It's difficult losing, but it's even more difficult when you didn't make a shot. I could see the ball just didn't go your way on an out-of-bounds play or something like that, but when you're just not making them, it's frustrating.
I've had mental errors before while not shooting the ball well and while shooting the ball well, and vice versa. So I can't compound one on top of the other. It's just a matter of getting out of the groove of shooting bad and just staying more locked in.
I've gone on streaks where I haven't shot the ball well here, but I was always making up for it in other areas, so it wasn't as big. It's just a part of the game. I got to do better with it.
I think just having everybody know who you are is more of a challenge. More than anything about it is just knowing people are watching. I know who I am, so it's watching things I say, what I do. Even if I'm in line at one of the rest stops or something, it's just being on my Ps and Qs at all times more than anything.
My looks vary, but I definitely think about it and plan. I like to shop, too, so I'm always mixing it up. But normally, I'll be wearing something like a college T-shirt and a sweater, something like that. But I definitely have to plan.
I like Public School and En Noir.
Everything I do is for my parents, None of this matters without them. If it weren't for them, I wouldn't be here... If it wasn't for them, if it wasn't for the structure and the backbone that I have, I wouldn't be able to mess up and keep coming back and sit in front of you as a world champion.
I like to get physical on defense. I like to get up on a guy as much as possible. I actually need to calm down, though.
I love running the floor and doing crazy dunks. I think I bring a lot of enthusiasm to the team.
I feel like my story would've been different had I had a chance to play with Bron when I was 18. I've thought about it countless times.
When you're in New York, there's women galore. At the end of the day, when I'm by myself or even, at times, when there was a woman next to me, I was feeling alone. It was not the same as it is with my wife. The experience is not the same; the time is not the same.
Coach Lue always amazed me. I'm like, 'How do you have this much joy coming out of life? You have money, but you don't drink; you don't smoke. All you do is hoop, and you live on a natural high.' But now I know.
To play at the Mecca of basketball and the Garden every night, it's probably the greatest decision I've ever made to go to New York.
Building stuff. Lifting blocks. That's how I got stronger. I never lifted weights. I just did masonry work with my pops.
Don't get in arguments with your coaches. If you have a certain opinion, express it to the best of your ability. But don't get on his bad side.
