You just want to be out there on the floor, with your teammates and just feel that team spirit and chemistry, just trying to focus on one goal, thats something I was missing, just being out, sitting out. Thats why its a blessing this year just to be able to play and be on the floor, regardless of what the outcome is.

Last summer I was going through a lot. I had a great support system, I just kept working hard, working hard and had my mind set on this goal right here, i came to a team, a new coach, and that mindset was the same as mine. This is what I play basketball for, this is what I work out for all summer, during the season and I'm happy that my hard work paid off.

I like being the underdog so they don't expect what's going to happen. It pushes me to work harder and do the things I'm not doing better.

I want the kids to know that it's not a myth that somebody from their city plays and wins in the NBA. I just want to influence them to work hard and do whatever they want to do in life, whether it's to be a basketball player or scientist... if they believe in themselves, they can do anything.

Not all water is great for you. I drink a lot of water during the day, but I stay away from certain waters because their pH levels are low. Stick to alkaline waters with a higher pH. Trust me.
