I was a kid growing up in Houston, didn't have a lot - three younger brothers, a single mom. It was tough.

I mean, I'm 6-11, and I'm pretty athletic, I think.

It's very hot and humid in Houston. Being in L.A. for 10 years, that kind of spoiled me a little bit, so every time I got back home, I'm like, 'Damn it's hot out here.' But I love it.

Everybody wants to play late, everybody wants to be clutch.

The more and more you touch the ball in the post and get game reps, you just get comfortable and confident and I think that's a big part of the game.

I'm just so fortunate.

This is very special, winning the gold for your country.

I didn't really lift consistently before I got to the NBA. In college, I would skip out on it or not do as many reps because, honestly, I didn't like it. I was like 'Man, I'm not going to put on weight, I'm always going to be skinny, I'm not going to be big as the sky.'

What I am today, is from Houston and my friends, my closest friends, we all went to high school together.

Oh, man, I was a stick in high school. I had a bird chest; I got called that a lot: 'Bird chest.' But I've always been comfortable with my body, even when I was super skinny.
