Guys like LeBron, Chris Paul, Kobe... They all speak to me. It's just insane that all these top tier guys who have been in the All-Star game for so many years actually know who I am. I mean not in a million years did I think that Kobe would speak to me.
You know I've watched the All-Star game as a little boy... and to have the opportunity now to play in it is so overwhelming.
To me, the All-Star Game is just another step. I try to take all my experiences and put them together. To make the NBA was something, and then to be recognized as an All-Star - although I don't consider myself a star. I see myself as just trying to reach my potential as B. J.
Anytime you go to the All-Star Game, you recognize that it's special. It's an experience that you don't want to pass up.
As far as control and stuff is concerned, I never had any more in my life than for that All-Star game in 1934.
The All-Star Game represents everything we as a nation love about basketball on and off the court - diversity, sportsmanship and, most of all, a commitment to unite fans.
It's a team game. Not every game is going to be an all-star game.
It's one thing to make the big leagues, but it's another thing to make it to an all-star game.
I can't imagine being in an All-Star Game, knowing that you're among some of the best of the best.
Oh, if I played in the All-Star game, I'm playing defense - hard for the first quarter. And I want to get a couple of dunks, too, like I do in a regular game.
