Some of my best experiences have been at KU and I'm thankful for my teammates, coaches and all the people that support KU.
I grew up - obviously I'm from Philly, where Kobe is from, so we grew up idolizing Kobe. He meant everything to us.
Me personally, I'm just trying to be the 'X-factor' that's needed. Whatever is needed out of me, I want to come in and provide.
If you can imagine being with somebody for 21 years and you both get to the NBA and have to split up, and then all of a sudden getting back together, it's unreal.
We need the fans to win games. We need the energy from them to win a lot of games and we need that every night, not just certain nights.
We do our best to compete and show how good we are together. The game is more fun when I have my brother.
I heard the other day that I'm the skinniest power forward in the league. I might be the skinniest, but I'm damn sure not the weakest.
I'm watching a lot of film to see what I can do differently, to see how I can help when I get in the game.
As I move on to the professional stage of my career, I will always remember my time as a Jayhawk. Playing here has prepared me for the opportunity to have a successful career in the NBA.
