People say a lot of things about LeBron, but he just keeps having a good mentality and grinding. That's what I try to do, proving people wrong by what I do on the court.

I definitely feel like I'm a really good playmaker, a really smart point guard that can lead his team and win.

The NBA has the best point guards in the world, so it is important that I come ready to play every night.

LeBron's been like a big brother to me, watching me play and giving me pointers on just little things. I really look up to him.

It's great to be compared to a great player like Tracy McGrady, but I think I'm my own type of player. I'm 6'10'' and a bit bigger than he is as a player. I also think I'm a bit different and play a different position. He's more of a guard, and I can play all around through five.

To be a great player or a good player in the NBA, I have to work on my perimeter game.

Ninety percent of the coaches in the NBA are guards, and there aren't very many big men people coaching, I happen to be one of them and when I coached, everybody on my team, including the guards, had a hook shot, so that it was their bail out shot.

I play a lot of basketball.

Sometimes I relax on defense and not understand I can't do that. Night in and night out, you're playing some of the best point guards in the world. That's something I'm continuing to work on and continue to develop my lower body, get quicker and more explosive.

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.
