Basketball Player

I am going to walk away when I'm ready to walk away. Not because of a win or a loss.

I have always liked knives. Then somebody gave me one. Then somebody gave me another one. Then I liked having them and started buying them. I started finding ones I liked, ones with funky blades.

When you have to stop and think about things is when they go wrong.

Karl Malone used a lot of veteran stuff that I thought was cool. Charles Barkley taught me a lot when I played against him. How he would use his body or use his dribble to get people in there and all that stuff. Veteran moves.

I have the loving support of my girlfriend who still attends Wake Forest and is nearing graduation. She helps me cope with the everyday rigors of being an NBA player.

I don't dunk anymore.

I don't do style. I just show up for the games.

I'm just going to play whatever game is in front of me.

I think competitiveness is taken in a different way by different people. I'm not a yeller and a screamer, a jumper and a pusher.

I started not enjoying myself. It wasn't fun at times. And I always said when that point comes when it's not fun anymore, then I'm done.

I like R&B. I listen to music, not singers.

In all seriousness, it really should be difficult for me to be too strange. After all, a great family raised me.

I've been competitive from day one. It's in my nature. Whether people recognize that or not, I don't know how they can't. I'm not gonna go out there and try to hurt somebody or win by all means. But if it's up in the air, I'm gonna try harder than you to get it done.

I just wanted to win on the road, honestly. I don't remember the road ever being this tough.

Like every other car guy, I've watched 'The Fast and the Furious,' and I want to go out and race and drift and all the crazy stuff. Another one of my favorites is 'Cobra.' That's where I got my love for the Merc, where he had the one that had the license plate that said 'AWSOM 50.'

I'm a loyal guy. I'm a man of my word, and I assumed other people would be that way. That's just not the case in life.

I didn't have my first car until after the end of my senior year. I got a Yukon Sport.

I had great friends, support and teaching at Wake Forest.

I'm surrounded by nothing but great people. I've been blessed with that, so really, I've got no choice but to be an all-around good person.

I don't know how their ranking goes or anything else, and I tell people I don't really care how the rankings go.
