I tried to make a point of doing things outside the box, of not having basketball consume me.

You need to possess more than a little nastiness to play basketball at the highest level.

I play a lot of basketball.

Sitting behind the bench at games is the hardest thing I've ever had to go through because basketball is really most of my happiness. So when I can't go out there and exert energy and have fun and things like that, it kind of puts everything else into perspective.

If you're playing basketball with someone who's better than you, you have to get better or else it's no fun.

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

Basketball is basketball.

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

When it gets down to it, basketball is basketball.
