I understand the NBA and the role I play on my team. I know that I have to play a leadership role and do whatever I have to do to win.
I think going to college for that one year was probable the best thing I have ever done.
I can't palm a basketball.
I can't worry about what other people are saying about me. At the end of the day, it's just their opinions, but if I said I don't hear it, or it doesn't bother me a little bit, I'd be lying to you.
Leadership is something I was born with.
I think I'm the most underrated superstar that's out there, but that doesn't matter to me.
I'm not at the point in my career where I want to rebuild.
I told my mom I would graduate. I owe that much to her and myself.
People tend to grow fearful, when they taste failure, face a daunting challenge or fall ill. Yet, that is precisely the time to become even bolder. Those who are victors at heart are the greatest of all champions!!!!
These close games that we're losing, the teams are not beating us. We're kind of beating ourselves.
I wanted to make the lightest shoe possible, but still be able to perform at the same time.
At the end of the day, you want to be always the one that's one step ahead of everybody, and when it comes to hip-hop, culture and art, you want to be that signature guy.
When I really like something, I try to put my all into it. This is something thats different from when I was growing up on the basketball court, running up and down, scoring 30 points or something. This is totally something different.
Denver is home to me, and to be recognized for my achievements in the sports community here is a great honor.
