What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a better and more educated person because of basketball.
Basketball is one of those rare opportunities where you can make a difference, not only for yourself, but for other people as well.
I think I can be pretty special. I think I can impact a lot in the NBA, especially with my size and my shooting ability and athleticism and just being a humble person.
I'm a basketball player. That's what I do and what I love but that's just not all who I am. I'm talented in a lot of different areas.
You need to possess more than a little nastiness to play basketball at the highest level.
People who understand basketball definitely appreciate what I bring to the table.
I always wanted to be a basketball player. Nothing more, nothing less.
I've accomplished so many things in basketball. I financially secured my kids' life and their future. I'm just happy. I'm just blessed. So anything that I'm not awarded doesn't matter because I've been rewarded enough in this lifetime.
Basketball is my passion, and I love it, and I love to see my players succeed. I'm here for them and my children. That's my passion.
I think basketball IQ, work ethic, competitiveness are probably the most important things in a basketball player.
