I'm trying to be a franchise player one day.

I have an advantage over most big guys - I'm quicker and faster.

I love the game, but I'm not going to play the game for the rest of my life, so you need something else you're good at, another passion. You have to be well-rounded, or else you're going to burn out, and you'll lose passion for what you're doing.

I'm not your average athlete. I'm good at other things. I'm not just a basketball player. I'm multi-talented.

Every possession matters, and everything goes down to the wire.

I come from a town of 800 people, and you just listen to Jay Z there. You never think about meeting him. Then suddenly, one day, you're in his office, hearing stories about his whole journey.

I probably started painting when I was in preschool.

Whenever I really want to, I can paint. It kinda just goes by my emotions and feelings at the time.

How I dress is the way I feel. If I'm wearing bright colors, I'm probably in a great mood.
