I am a basketball player, and I would like to focus my energy on basketball. The other things, I would rather not do. It is not something I am greatly interested in, but I know it is my responsibility.
It's always nice to start the season with a win.
I only want to play basketball, and play it well and be happy about it. But I realize that with being famous, comes a lot of demands.
A good leader must be fair.
I finished my high school. I think an educate is very, very important.
Putting our ecosystem in great peril is certainly not a part of Chinese culture that I know.
First of all, I'm not buff enough. I got pushed away from the basket. And even when I didn't, I couldn't get anyone to throw me a pass.
The NBA is a big family, and I think of all these rookies as my brothers. I still believe I am blue collar among the All-Stars.
Fortune cookies are a good idea. If the message is positive, it can make your day a little better.
Endangered species are our friends.
I feel that the All-Star game is more like a party because its made up of a lot of elements. However the core of All-Star is still the 48 minute-game and all the fans will pay all attention to the showcase of the players excellent skills. The result of the game is not much of a concern.
It will take time to adapt, but I think I can handle it.
I can see well enough on the 28-meter basketball court.
I understand basketball is not my entire life. It's only a part of my life. And there are a lot of other things that interest me a great deal ... other goals to seek, and this is how I have balance in life.
