They really just taught me at an early age the values of hard work. Both my parents are two of the hardest working people that I know, so that was a big foundation for me and something I really cherish and it really helped me to grow up in that kind of household.
After you have a big game, you can’t just say, ‘That’s it, I’ve arrived,’ by any means. I’m always pushing it to be better. You always want to be better than you are, no matter what. I think that’s important.
I was very healthy from a young age. I was always known as the healthy kid in my group of friends. My mom had us drink barley-grass powder, and I’ve taken vitamins and fish oil and multivitamins since I was a kid.
Some of the best competition there’s been since I’ve been in the league. Just every night, night in and night out we get to play against the top guys, the top teams. It’s a lot of fun.
Basketball has always and will always come first to me but it’s also given me the chance to do really fun things and work with really fun people and its something I’m lucky to have.
You’re not being complacent, not falling back and floating around the perimeter too much, figuring out when to attack. I’m trying to find that balance between attacking and spotting up and things like that.
