I'm Going To Be Honest,

I Had To Learn How To Give My Best Effort To God And Trust Him With The Results. I Have To Learn To Have Enough Faith To Trust In His Grace And To Trust In His Sovereign And Perfect Plan. I Had To Submit My Will, My Desires, My Dreams — Give It All Up To God And Say, “look, I Am Going To Give My Best Effort, Go On The Court And Play Every Day For You, And I'm Going To Let You Take Care Of The Rest.

My Best Career Decision Was Probably Not Giving Up When I Wanted To. God As Well As My Family And Friends Were There For Me During My Toughest Times.

Having Small Group Once A Week Gives Me A Lot Of Encouragement And Accountability. Even Though I Go To Church, I Don't Really Know Many People There, But My Real Community Is My Small Group.

Faith, Family, Academics And Then Sports Was The Order Of Priorities In My Family. My Parents Really Stuck To These Principles When Raising Me And My Two Brothers. As Long As We Took Care Of Everything, They Let Us Play As Much Basketball As We Wanted.

With All The Media Attention, All The Love From The Fans, I Felt I Needed To Prove Myself. Prove That I'm Not A Marketing Tool, I'm Not A Ploy To Improve Attendance. Prove I Can Play In This League. But I've Surrendered That To God. I'm Not In A Battle With What Everybody Else Thinks Anymore.
