I don't talk to media or anyone before games. I just put my headphones on, turn up some hip-hop, and get in the zone.
I'm someone who always comes on the court no matter what's going on in my life. It's all about basketball and my teammates and my team. I don't let any distractions in, and I bring my best every night, regardless of what's going on or what people are talking about.
I also eat fruit instead of drinking juices. That's something I've read up on. I think that if you drink a lot of fruit juice you take in way too much sugar. You'd be better off eating a bunch of strawberries or apples.
I eat about 4,500 calories every day, but I eat only nutritious, organic foods, and I don't eat added sugars.
My whole mindset in training is to be explosive and fast, and I try not to get too big and bulky.
It's not superstition, but I do everything exactly the same on game days. I'm a creature of habit. I eat the same breakfast, and then I drive the same way to practice. Then I come back and eat the same exact same lunch before every game.
I think the way I eat is the foundation of my performance.
I don't always match up with guys like Dwight Howard or Andrew Bynum, but when I do, those guys are a challenge. Dwight, for example, is quick, explosive, and strong all in one.
