There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don't put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.
I don't know how tall I am or how much I weigh. Because I don't want anybody to know my identity. I'm like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man.
I mean, when you grow up in the inner city and you grow up in a single-parent household, that's - those are humbling times, you know?
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 always say, decisions I make, I live with them. There's always ways you can correct them or ways you can do them better. At the end of the day, I live with them.
Volleyball, I could be pretty good. After a few practices I could be that striker, or whatever they call it.
I won at every level - all the way since I started playing the game of basketball at nine. I've won at every level, won championships at every level. And, you know, it won't be fulfilled until I win at the highest level.
My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.
I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.
Every night on the court I give my all, and if I'm not giving 100 percent, I criticize myself.
I like criticism. It makes you strong.
You know, God gave me a gift to do other things besides play the game of basketball.
I'm going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best life I can with it.
