Basketball has consumed me since the age of 7 or 8. I don't know what I would do without it.

I'm pretty athletic and I play basketball a lot.

I want to do as little as possible when I finish playing ball - just spend a lot more time with my family.

I play a lot of basketball.

I want to play basketball so bad.

We don't do things we aren't good at by nature. I wouldn't play basketball because I'm only 5' 1". Find what you enjoy - whether it's racing, flying a helicopter, being a doctor, or stitching clothes together. Once you've done that, you have the passion you need.

Basketball is one of those rare opportunities where you can make a difference, not only for yourself, but for other people as well.

I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow. I just know for sure I'm going to keep playing basketball.

I've done a lot of basketball drills, not a whole lot of competitive stuff. I have basically been in the gym everyday working on my game, working on the time off that I've had from the game, just getting myself prepared mentally and physically for the season.

A lot of late nights in the gym, a lot of early mornings, especially when your friends are going out, you're going to the gym, those are the sacrifices that you have to make if you want to be an NBA basketball player.
