As A Man, If You

Basketball Isn't Easy. All My Life I've Been Striving To Make Myself Better. It's A Full Time Commitment. To Be The Best, You Have To Work The Hardest. You Have To Chase What Seems Impossible Over And Over And Over Again, Because Giving Up Is Not An Option, And When You Feel Like You've Reached Your Limit, It's Only The Beginning, That's When The Time To Dig Deep, To Find The Courage To Push Some More, Because If You've Got The Drive, The Discipline, And The Resolve To Do What It Takes To Make Yourself Great, Then The Rewards Are Endless.

I Need Music. It's Like My Heartbeat, So To Speak. It Keeps Me Going No Matter What's Going On - Bad Games, Press, Whatever!

In The Next 15 Or 20 Years, I Hope I'll Be The Richest Man In The World. That's One Of My Goals. I Want To Be A Billionaire. I Want To Get To A Position Where Generation On Generation Don't Have To Worry About Nothing. I Don't Want Family Members From My Kids To My Son's Kids To Never Have To Worry. And I Can't Do That Now Just Playing Basketball.

I Hate Letting My Teammates Down. I Know I'm Not Going To Make Every Shot. Sometimes I Try To Make The Right Play, And If It Results In A Loss, I Feel Awful. I Don't Feel Awful Because I Have To Answer Questions About It. I Feel Awful In That Locker Room Because I Could Have Done Something More To Help My Teammates Win.

When I Was 5, Some Financial Things Happened, And I Moved Seven Times In A Year. We Moved From Apartment To Apartment, Sometimes Living With Friends. My Mom Would Always Say, 'don't Get Comfortable, Because We May Not Be Here Long.'
