Basketball Player

That's the key to the NBA, everybody finding their roles.

I am from San Diego, and I went to college in Boston, so I have seen the opposite coasts.

I understand how powerful social media can be.

As an athlete, it's all about confidence in general.

Shaq had an uncanny sense of how to utilize the media.

The quicker you can establish roles, the better chance you have of being a successful team.

When I grew up it was Michael Jordan and Chicago Bulls, the Lakers, the Boston Celtics, those were the teams you loved or hated and me being from San Diego, you loved the Lakers.

I definitely think I'm kind of more of an East Coast player than a West Coast player. But I knew at a young age, too, that if I didn't get a scholarship that I was going to go to prep school.

You get measured by how fast you run or how high you can jump or how you can dribble, and I just wasn't that kind of player.

You've got to know your role. I was never built like someone who was 6-9 or 6-10, didn't have athleticism and became a good shooter. Wasn't a natural shooter. So for me, it's being smart. It's a guy, I used to look at Shane Battier; take angles, play the right way, a winner. Do all the little things.

I knew at a young age what my limits were and what my strengths were.

We don't trip if someone like Patrick Beverley is talking trash; that's how he feeds his family. We get it. We respect the hustle.

I'm always friendly.

When a team sticks together and plays for each other, it all usually works out in the end.

I knew that basketball was my love and the only way for me to go to college was to get a scholarship.

When you win and you shoot badly, it doesn't really matter. Stats and all the other stuff doesn't matter.

When you're not dealing with superstars, coaches want players to fit their system. But superstars are the system.

A star player, even when he's not shooting the ball in crunch time, he's making the decisions and making the plays.

I don't have to be a leading scorer or be the man.

You can't just work hard enough in the NBA and be good. You have to work hard and smart.
