Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Growing up, I always dreamed of winning a major championship.
My dream was to be in the NBA. I wasn't really focused on being a star player on a team. I just wanted to make it to the NBA. I've been blessed for the opportunities to be in the Finals, been in the playoffs ever since I've been in the NBA.
I always had a dream to someday own an NBA team.
My childhood dream was to play basketball, actually.
I always dreamt of being a basketball player. A dream that only I believed in.
You always dream of going to the Olympics and winning gold. I've learned over the years that there are lots of gold medals, but certain stories stick out and make a difference.
When I was younger, I just thought about playing in the NBA.
I had never dreamed about the NBA like some guys did. I was a non-scholarship player at an NAIA college. I played on the Boys and Girls Club team in my freshman and sophomore years of high school before I made the high school team. I was our backup center in college.
To win Olympic gold has been a dream for me for seven or eight years now, so it was amazing to actually achieve that.
It's the Olympics. And it was a long way for me. To compete at the Olympic Games, I dreamed of any medal, but frankly speaking, I wanted a gold one.
