I've modeled my game after Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan.
Schoolwork came kind of natural to me, but when I brought home a grade that wasn't up to par, my parents let me know it.
A woman shouldn't heckle. In the public eye, you have to represent not only you but your spouse, too. You have to be a lady. She just has to sit there, clap, and look pretty.
I know how the game is played, and I'm always working on it.
When I was in school, my favorite subject was math. I took algebra and calculus. At an early age I grasped it and understood it quickly. I just enjoyed breaking the codes and solving problems.
Eventually, people are going to find out I can play.
I wanted to take on a little bit more of a leadership role. I'm getting older and things are coming to me more and I have to take responsibility for that.
I liked being a kid. I liked being a student.
Money is not an issue to me. My mother always tells me, money, it comes and it goes.
Sometimes you surprise yourself with what you do under pressure.
My goal is to be able to play wherever my team needs me.
I never expected to leave college early-especially after just one year.
I want to hold onto that because I think every kid when they dream about playing basketball, they don't dream about being a role player. They dream about being the man. I have that position in Toronto and to give that up and go somewhere else to be an addition would kinda defeat the purpose of my dreams.
I want to go get a stop on defense so James can do it again. It was a big spurt for him. That made then get out of their game plan and play him closer. But when he does that, we want to make sure we capitalize and get timely stops. And that's what got us right back in the game.
