Warren Buffet told me once and he said always follow your gut. When you have that gut feeling, you have to go with don't go back on it.
I hear my friends and my mom tell me I'm special, but honestly, I still don't get it.
I played football for a team called the East Dragons on the east side of town. We only had six regular season games. And six games I played tail back and I had 18 touchdowns in six games. That's when I knew I had some athletic ability.
When I was 5, some financial things happened, and I moved seven times in a year. We moved from apartment to apartment, sometimes living with friends. My mom would always say, 'Don't get comfortable, because we may not be here long.'
But now, being a parent, I go home and see my son and I forget about any mistake I ever made or the reason I'm upset. I get home and my son is smiling or he comes running to me. It has just made me grow as an individual and grow as a man.
And winning is a huge thing for me.
I make impact plays. I make game-changing plays.
I need music. It's like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what's going on - bad games, press, whatever!
I'm confident with my ability.
When did I know I had talent? I think it started when I first started playing sports, organized sports.
You know, I'm just 6'9" and 260. And just so happen to be very good at playing the game of basketball.
Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.
I love showcasing my talents - not only to my hometown fans and my own team but to the world.
I took Hedo (Turkoglu) in the first game and Rashard (Lewis) hit the winning shot. I took Rashard in the second game and Hedo hit the shot. If I could clone myself, we'd be all right. But I can't.
