I've always loved kids, but to have your own little munchkins is unlike anything else. It's the greatest form of love; it's challenging and scary, but so rewarding and exciting.
I've spent half my life in gyms, if not more, and I love physical fitness and health; couple that with the fact that I love for people to be healthy, whether it's mentally, physically, or emotionally, and it's just a great opportunity for me to do something I love and have an impact on people's health.
I realize that although I'd like to make films as a career after I'm done playing, I really love basketball; I really love my career, an opportunity to compete every day and to push myself physically, mentally and emotionally.
I love playing in Vancouver and Toronto. They are beautiful cities, and I know lots of people in both places. I also love The Garden in New York, and I love going to Miami.
Well, my favorite band is Radiohead. But, you know, I am pretty fascinated in general with music. I love music. It is definitely an interest.
I love being part of a team, any team. Not just playing, but the camaraderie, the whole thing. It's just what I get off on.
When I think of my career, I can't help but think of the kid with his ball, falling in love.
It would be nice if we were up 3-2. But, at least we can go to LA and let it all hang out.
Raja and Kurt are always there for us, physically and mentally. They always make it difficult for the other team and always give us a chance to win.
Besides P.E., geography was my best class in high school. I was in this gifted class when I was younger, and it was wicked!
We played pretty well tonight. They made some phenomenal shots in the fourth quarter. At some point, you've just got to congratulate them.
I thought he really was great at being in the paint, knowing when to finish, when to pump fake, when to pass. He made the right decisions. It's really difficult to guard him when he makes those decisions.
We haven't really clicked. That's frustrating. But our defense has really picked up.
We haven't played well offensively. We haven't really clicked, and that's frustrating, but at the same time our defense has really picked up, and given us an opportunity to win in all three of our losses.
