If you've got style, you'll show it, no matter the city.
I didn't think it was that bad when I was playing in the playoffs or working out this summer. But it was getting worse and worse (at camp two-a-days last week). I'm glad we took care of it early in my career. I'm going to come back 110 percent. I won't have the pain anymore. I will have the same aggressiveness and have even more explosiveness.
I ask daily. I'm asking questions every workout, every set. Is everything on schedule? Is everything where it's supposed to be?
I feel it's my responsibility to be able to take care of my family by living off the land. That's the ultimate goal for a man.
I'm real close. I may catch you by surprise one of these days.
In the NBA, there is a guy guarding you, and you really have to try shooting over him.
If you research history, I think we are all Jewish. It's the original culture.
I'm not a religious person; I'm more of a spiritual person, so I follow the rules of the Bible that coordinate with and connect with the Hebrew culture.
I knew I was good because I was the only 14-year-old who could dunk backward.
You can tailor garments all you want, but if it doesn't fit in the arms or legs, it never will.
I'm pretty fatigued. Overall, I feel pretty good. There's still a little discomfort. I'm just seeing what it takes to get back to 100 percent.
