I don't enjoy art.
My life revolves around the ball.
I like thinking and being able to answer questions that are tough to answer. You have to try to figure out how to get a good answer and look intelligent.
I understand what it takes to be an elite player in the league.
I'm athletic enough to do guard stuff, so if you were to mold me into having guard moves and footwork in a big's body, that's revolutionizing the game.
Like, I did baseball, football, or track - I never really worked on a sport every day for years like most kids that hoop.
You can do anything. Put the time in to do it, and you could do it.
Being able to guard the pick and roll makes you a high asset in the NBA.
Being able to hedge on a ball screen and the guy coming off and being able to guard him for a brief second and then go back and block a shot in one possessions, that's big. There's not many dudes that can do that.
Defense is natural. Defense is a reaction. Offense - you've gotta do the moves; you've gotta get it down pat.
I'm real. I'm completely authentic.
Golf is so mental. It gets my mind right before the game.
I love being at Kentucky. I love the fan base. I love the community. I love the people there. So it's like, why not stay until they make you leave?
At Kentucky, you have to be a competitor. If you're not, you're going to look weak. You're going to look like you don't belong.
There's no part of me that doesn't like basketball. I love it.
I don't see myself not playing basketball. I don't see myself not around basketball.
You hoop with a certain expression. That's your art. You've crafted it, so it is your art.
I wish I still had all of my old schoolwork. I'd just have all the sketches around the schoolwork, and none of the schoolwork done. Just sketches all around. I was always doodling something.
I have a lot of art in the house, but it's mine, friends'. Not necessarily - like, I didn't spend thousands of dollars to attain it. It's authentic, at least.
I can play three positions - five in college - but realistically three in the NBA.
