I've worked countless hours in the gym, so I feel like I'm already prepared for the game. So when I'm listening to music pregame, it's really just about personal enjoyment.
I can't even give my father a proper gift. Every single Father's Day means so much to me. I'm so close to him. He's my big brother, but also my father.
One game I'm always on is 'NBA Jam.' And 'Bejeweled,' games like that, and 'Temple Run.'
I'm going to give input when I need to. When it needs to be said.
I love the gym; I love basketball. I'm really passionate about it.
Everybody in the NBA is good. And then you have the really good ones and the great ones.
When I'm playing the 1-guard, I'm kind of seeing everything that's going on. When I play the 2, I have a more broader understanding of what's going on and where the screens are being set in order for not only myself to get open, but for my teammates.
Going in, you want to play a perfect season and play throughout the whole entire season, but injuries are a part of basketball.
I'm not really a big X's and O's guy, but if you want to go there, I'm more of a space-the-floor type of coach: Five out, zero in, and that's the way we play basketball, screen and roll here and there, pocket passes everywhere; it's what it's about.
All I do is sit at home and watch Netflix.
I want to be on the cover of 'GQ.' That's a personal goal.
When I'm playing the 1-guard, teams do a great job of just loading up and preparing for my drives and preparing for my three-point shots.
When it applies to the Olympics and making a decision, I have to claim Australia as my country.
I felt like we would have definitely won an NBA championship if everyone was healthy.
