It's not all about becoming an NBA player; sometimes it's about becoming your best self and making the biggest impact you can make.
I've had so much great teaching, and I'm one of the best defensive players to ever play the game on the wing.
If someone is not playing defense or not giving effort, that's my specialty. I don't hold back on my words.
I remember I came into the NBA in 1999; the game was a little bit more rough. The game now is more for kids. It's not really a man's game anymore.
I was top-10 once upon a time in this league, and I took a quick drop-off. Like, that's just not normal.
I'd heard of the name 'Big Brother' before. I didn't realize that it was on TV for 20 years. My manager told me, ''Big Brother' wants you.' I said, 'I don't feel like watching it, and I don't know what I'm getting into.'
I continue to learn about myself, about my past, understanding energy between people, understanding my own energy, being healthy.
Big Brother makes a game where it's competitive, not just a handicap match. Mentally, physically, strategically, emotionally, it's an even match. When you compete 100%, it's a real competition.
Everybody has different issues, good or bad, that they carry with them on the court. It affects you. And for me, it affected me to where sometimes I would be overly aggressive and, in other ways, it would affect people to where they can't perform on the court.
What happened was, when I got into the brawl in Detroit, I was transitioning into a different type of person, that person that I've become, but that game had so many emotions involved.
