A wet spot on the floor kind of put a scare in myself, so you never know inside those lines what might happen.

I know what I do for my team and what my teammates expect of me on both ends of the floor.

In the NBA, you're never immune to rumors and trade rumors and free agency stuff.

I have certain guys who I looked up to. Jordan, Kobe, those guys. Passing that on to doing my part to kind of keep that influence of basketball where it should be is kind of why I play the game.

So I'm not very popular here with those inside the system, as you might guess. I never wanted to be.

Everybody asks if putting is like shooting free throws. It has a very similar kind of mindset. And it's just you, the ball, and the target.
