For me, it's all about who you are. Some athletes may feel a responsibility. Some may not. One thing I've talked with my family and team about is doing more. Trying to make an impact.
I hate losing more than I like winning
Exercise and good nutrition helped make me what I am today and are critical in allowing me stay on top of my game.
I always have said that the most valuable thing I have isn't money; it's my time.
You can replace houses. You can't replace people. I mean, it's left me speechless. I was talking to P.J. (Brown) about it. When the storm hit, I just kept it on CNN and watched the whole thing. Just seeing Canal Street, knowing I was there just a few days before storm and seeing all those stores I went in being under water. Unbelievable.
Every now and then you're going to get beaten, but we work hard.
Keep practicing. Never let someone tell you you're too small or too slow.
I try to penetrate the lane like Steve Nash, pass like Jason Kidd, and handle the ball like Allen Iverson. Remember, I said 'try to'.
He plays real low to the floor and (is) able to change directions all the time and keep you off balance. The thing that makes him so diverse is he's able to score, but at the same time, he's a pure point guard. He can find his teammates and make the right pass.
I know Winston-Salem, and I felt like the sooner I could do something, the better. I feel like I know everyone in Winston-Salem. If I don't know them, someone in my family knows them. If I'm going to be home, it's the least I can do.
The least we could do is go out and play as hard as we can. We feel like we owe a lot to this city and the state of Oklahoma for accepting us.
Incredible. It was really tough to lose this one. The fans went above and beyond and were really motivated to help us. Our team is still part of New Orleans. We've still got New Orleans on our jerseys.
I'm planning on it unless I wake up Friday morning and I can't walk. Hopefully, that won't be the case.
