I've been good at the game of basketball my whole life, so I'm hoping I can get back to that.

I know there are a lot of kids who aren't lucky enough to have a father figure in their lives. That's a really tough obstacle to overcome.

With all the pick-and-rolls in the NBA, getting in the lane and shooting floaters or pull-ups will help a lot.

Melo has a chance to be a better player than me, for sure. I feel at the same age, he's better than me. In real time, I don't think he's better than me. But I'm the big brother so I'm always going to have that edge over him.

Man, at the end of the day, it's just a game. And the way I look at it, when I have fun, that's when I play my best basketball.

Once you believe in yourself, you can pretty much do whatever you want in my opinion, so that is the main thing.

During the pregnancy and stuff, I knew I had a daughter coming but when she finally got here that is when it really hit me. Ever since that day, I look at life a lot differently.

I know who I am. People who know me know who I am. That's all that matters.

I played baseball too, and flag football, but basketball was the easiest for me. Then when I was 12, my dad asked me what I wanted to do, and I said 'Be an NBA player.' Since then, he started training me.

I tell everybody take it one game at a time.

A lot of things are going to happen that you can't necessarily control all the time, but you can control what you do after it happens. So that's what I try to do, keep my head up, keep moving forward, stay positive and just work hard.

I think it was tough being a young guy, especially in L.A. All the people looking at you and we had a big responsibility over there.

My family's always going to be together.

Who's gonna want to wear a loser's shoe? I know I wouldn't.

L.A.'s a lot of noise and stuff. You always hear cars and stuff.

Obviously if your head coach expects more of you, you bring it to the table.

I'm going to have confidence in myself. That's how I try to play.

If you want to be a good shooter, you've got to shoot.

LeBron and Rondo are arguably two of the best leaders ever.

My dream is to play in the NBA.
