I am really excited to have signed my first NBA contract today. It's nice to now concentrate more about playing than the business side of things.
There is a side of me what wants to go, and there is a side of me that of course wants to win the gold. But there is a side of me that wants to make sure that things are different this time around.
He's getting in better shape. When a big guy like him is out for 18 games, it's like taking what he did in training camp and what he did in the summer and throwing it out the window. He's getting more active on both sides of the floor. He's getting deep and we're finding him now. He's going up strong and finishing.
It's a side of me that wants to make sure things are different this time around.
We have to come back tomorrow. We're a team that never quits, we always fight.
This was an exciting game from beginning to end. Both teams were getting out running and scoring at will.
The playoffs are a different mindset and a different season. Our main goal is to go in healthy and we'll be alright.
We thought Nash was going to knock that down right away.
We're not really looking at teams' records. We just want to come in and get better and we can't relax. This is the NBA.
There is only a relationship between music and sports because all athletes want to be rappers and all rappers want to be athletes.
When I'm designing I try to think about what I like to see on other people.
Places you go in life - it opens your eyes up and you kind of understand who you are.
When I come home, I'm not a basketball player, but "dad". While everyone sees me as an NBA player, to my boys, I'm just "dad" and that's very important.
I've always cared about my personal style and the way people perceive me. I know a lot of times people don't get the opportunity to talk to me, so they're just going to see what I wear, see how I'm dressed, see how I present myself.
