I've always had to prove myself to people growing up. I had to show them that I could do this and I could do that and paying no mind to what the critics said.
My childhood, I wouldn't say it was bad. It helped me grow up. I stayed out of trouble. My parents taught me what's wrong and right, and knowing that I had a little brother following me, I had to make sure I was doing the right thing so he knows what's right, too. I was in the house nine days out of 10. There wasn't nothing good outside for me.
Magic Johnson was my favorite player growing up.
