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.
I got a picture [tattoo] of Mohammed Ali on my side with one of his quotes. That's my guy. I look up to him. I'm like his number one fan.
The new guys bring energy, intensity and emotion. The last couple games, they showed what they can bring to the team.
I want to win the game. I dont worry about taking over the game unless I have to.
When I step on that basketball court, I'm thinking about basketball, I'm thinking about winning - but there's so much that goes into thought about how I'm going to open this game up to others. It's so much more than just basketball.
I just want to get on the court.
I know I'm not a selfish player. People around me know I'm not a selfish player. I do everything I can to make people around me understand I'm not a selfish player.
I'm really into fashion.
