"People that don't know me think that basketball is my life 24/7. Trust me, there is much more to my life. My number one priority in my life is my family."

I take my sport damned seriously. Basketball is my life. There are other people who go into important games as if they were any other game. I'm a brooder and I spend a lot of time thinking about my opponent, about the things he can do and about what I have to do to win. I don't think I'll ever be able to change that.
