It's cool to actually have my own trading card.
After you have a big game, you can't just say, 'That's it, I've arrived,' by any means. I'm always pushing it to be better. You always want to be better than you are, no matter what. I think that's important.
Basketball has always and will always come first to me but it's also given me the chance to do really fun things and work with really fun people and its something I'm lucky to have.
The best part is if you dunk on someone at home and they show it on the replay!
This must be how the guys in Space Jam felt when MJ gave them their powers back through that old basketball.
Once you become complacent and once you're happy with your performance or whatever it is, I don't think you'll get better as quickly.
This has been a dream for me.
My dad was a huge basketball influence in my life on and off the court. Playing for him and having him around, having him push me harder than maybe another coach would have was a huge blessing for me. Getting to play with my brother was an unreal experience at Oklahoma, in college, it's some of the funnest times I've had in basketball, and I'll cherish those memories forever.
My goal is to let people see who I am as a person, not just a basketball player. Many people see athletes in a certain way - flat and one dimensional. I want to change that view.
[When] I was young and I listened to everything - I took everything to heart. I didn't really realize how much people want to talk badly about you when you're down, or kick you when you're down. As basketball players, people think everybody's ultra-confident. But that's not the case.
I'm going to be working on my shot. Working on extending my range. Keep working on everything, and really studying the game.
I was always chasing Taylor, trying to keep up with him.
Teams want me to do something stupid. You want to get to the point where nothing affects you, where you control them.
I followed Taylor everywhere. I was always trying to catch up after him or go with him.
It seemed like we were losing every night for a different reason. Now we're winning a different way every time. It's a great feeling.
The people that are surrounding me have my best interest.
