I grew up in low-income areas and I've seen people take negative energy and just accept it. They give into and end up living a pretty rough life. At a young age, I just knew I wasn't going to give in because I didn't want to end up being one of those people in the neighborhood that didn't have anything and lived a hard life.
When I was born, the umbilical cord came wrapped around my neck, so when I came out, I wasn't breathing.
I'm a fighter. So if you're going to doubt me or say that I can't do something, I'm going to prove to you I can do it.
I've always been a workout type guy. So if I'm feeling down or I'm not happy with something, I go to the gym and I get a shot of energy.
I've been playing NBA Live since I was little, and I won't lie, I always play with the team with the highest rating.
My first car was an '86 Honda Prelude. It was redone, so it had a new motor, new paint, rims... but it wasn't nearly as much as my Range Rover.
I really enjoy being out on the court and going through the grind and battling. That's something a video game can't do for you.
My coach, Robert Allen, helped me a lot. He had more influence on my growth as a player than anyone else.
When I was younger, I used to spend a lot of time either by myself or with my mom. But when I hit high school, she really became one of my close friends.
My long arms help me as I try to become more versatile.
I love Portland and I have so much history there and I knew it like the back of my hand, so the decision to leave was never easy.
I've always had a very cordial relationship with Kobe.
I'm in the process of building a separate house behind my house, just for shoes. Like a little show room.
I'm from Texas.
I'm a mid-range guy and most teams give that up, but that's what I do.
You have to do your job and put your best foot forward and focus on what you have to do to win.
The key to win is playing defense.
As I get slower and older, I'm going to shoot more threes.
I've been told that I've shot the ball a lot better since I've been injured, so that's kind of weird.
I think since I've focussed on my form more my shot has been better.
