Athlete

The NBA is way more progressive than the NFL or MLB.

I am a point guard. It's a job that I'm not scared of.

I've never been the type that's been highly athletically talented or can jump that high. I'm a guy who's 6-2.

Legacies are defined not by what happened to you or how it happened. It's how you pick yourself back up and you continue to fight each and every day.

My story's been an open book for a long time, no pun intended.

Nolan Smith is going to be a guy that can drive to the basket, can create his own shot.

In dealing with athletes or celebrities or people in general, I think there's a tendency to get on their pedestal or their platform and just kind of blow the ink.

I was very close to having my whole leg amputated. It was a life-altering event. It took years of rehab.

Growing up and meeting people, you always want to work hard to become something.

I've been around business since I've been a little boy.

It's not always the coach that gets the best out of the talent. It's the best player who gets his team to play the hardest.

I've had to learn how to control my animation.

I don't really compartmentalize and put players in high school, college, or the pros. For everybody, it's physically and mentally, where are you? How do you evolve? Where's your game at?

When I got hurt - everybody knows I shattered my pelvis - all I thought about was running with my kids one day and being able to have a family.

For me personally, I played better when I was angry.

I personally love watching greats like Matt Lauer, Scott Pelly, Howard Cossell, Bryant Gumble and others that can stimulate an intelligent, thoughtful, moving conversation or interview.
