I was a three-star recruit, went to Texas A&M, and no one really talked about me there.
If we want to win, we're not going to be able to go out on the court and say, 'My turn' or 'Your turn.' We're going to have to play together and sacrifice some shots, some ball touches, some minutes.
I think LeBron is the best player in the world, as far as overall in his career and what he's doing for this league on and off the court.
You can't stop great players. You can only make it tough on them.
Now, I'm not afraid. Or getting myself down about missing shots or missing an assignment late. The game goes on. You've got another chance. That's definitely a mental thing.
We had a lot of close games; we were losing games. Failing in those opportunities - when the game was close? And we needed a bucket or a stop? I wasn't able to come through. It's just... something that you get comfortable with as time goes on. You're OK with failing, as long as you're trying as hard as you can.
I love everything about Christmas - the food, the 24/7 family time, watching someone you care about open the perfect present - and '12 Days of Khrismas' allowed me to spread that energy throughout all my communities.
In the month of December, it was my ultimate mission to find and honor the special people in my cities and provide them with experiences they would never forget.
We can't take quarters, minutes, plays off.
We have to play a complete game.
Giannis is truly a student of the game. He listens to the coaches, they show him film, and he's always in the gym working on his game and trying to find ways to get better.
I think Giannis can be a LeBron-type player, like an all-world, Hall of Famer, MVP, legend, one of the best ever. He's doing the right things to put himself in that situation. I think he will get there.
Anytime you fall short with someone you've been with the whole time, you always ask yourself or ask the other partner, 'Can we do this?'
I got to work on my body, kept working on my game, and also just got to learn out there from the guys who are playing. Getting stronger, working on my upper-body strength, lower-body strength, just trying to get stronger.
Heading into college, I was mainly just a spot-up shooter.
I developed my game a lot and learned how to score off the dribble. I learned how to play team defense and one-on-one defense.
My main improvement on defense has just been my coaches. They've been teaching me defensive schemes, how to guard guys, and how to use my length.
If they focus on me too often, somebody's going to be wide open. It's all about playing together and playing as a team.
I just want to go out there and play hard every night and do my best.
Just knowing how to get to my spots - that's the key. Once I get to my main spots, I feel like I have a lot of options I can go to - keep on driving, pass, or shoot. I just feel like if I can get to those spots, I can play my game.
