Basketball Player

It's second nature. You just get out there and play basketball.

The older I get, the more I'm saving the day.

All great rebounders don't give up on a play. They treat every shot as a miss and they go out there.

A lot of people judge you on your height, your wingspan, but it's really about the will and the determination that defines a person.

I've learned that my son is obsessed with basketball. He sits down and watches the games with me, and wants to go play all the time.

For whatever reason, 34 is old. Not to me.

With a fast pace world and wanting to reach and accomplish goals sometimes we neglect to pause and just enjoy the moment.

You just want to give the team energy and get our guys going in any way possible. So I'm just trying to give off as much energy as I can whenever I can.

You know, I'm not a selfish guy.

I'm always the go-with-the-flow sort of person anyway, so with the game moving this way or that way, I'm going to go with it.

For us, as hoopers and as basketball players, doesn't matter the scenario, the scene. True hoopers and true basketball players are going to get out and perform.

Atlanta is still going to be my summer place. My family is still going to be there.

The city of Atlanta has been unbelievable to me.

Once you are first in the East, one of the top teams in the league, you have a target on your back every night.

I'm never content. I'm always searching, looking for things to better myself.

As a player, you have to see what's out there. But, at the end of the day, I knew Atlanta was my home, and it's where I wanted to be.

I keep my family around me.

It feels good to be in a rhythm.

It's fun to watch and fun to be a part of and I think that's what it's all about. You have to have fun playing basketball.

You're going to go through some tough stretches. You've got to continue to stay positive, continue to press through it.
