Basketball is one of those rare opportunities where you can make a difference, not only for yourself, but for other people as well.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Basketball is so unique. It's both a team and an individual sport.
I'm a better and more educated person because of basketball.
I'm pretty athletic and I play basketball a lot.
In college I never realized the opportunities available to a pro athlete. I've been given the chance to meet all kinds of people, to travel and expand my financial capabilities, to get ideas and learn about life, to create a world apart from basketball.
Basketball was always my sport. It just took me until my second year of college for me to realize that I was a better baseball player than a basketball player. But basketball was always my number one love. Finally found out I was better at baseball and chose to pursue that route.
I'm just playing basketball. I just want to be a great player. That's it. That's all I'm thinking about. If the other stuff comes, it comes, but I'm just fortunate to play in the NBA Finals and just to play basketball, period.
I play a lot of basketball.
I am reaching a point in my life where the basketball chapter in my life is slowly closing from a competition standpoint.
I always wanted to be a basketball player. Nothing more, nothing less.
What you are as a person is far more important than what you are as a basketball player.
