My days shouldn't be hard because I'm doing what I'm doing and that's playing basketball.

When I was younger, I just thought about playing in the NBA.

I want to thank my mom, Brenda Rose. My heart, the reason I play the way I play, just everything. Just knowing the days I don't feel right, going to practice, having a hard time, I think about her when she had to wake me up, go to work and make sure I was all right. Those were hard days.

If I just do everything the opposite of what my dad did, I think that will make things pretty easy. I can joke about it now because I'm past that stage where it used to hurt. By having a kid, it's gone. I could take all that negative energy that I had and put it in a positive way.

Luckily, the weather's not too good with the snow. So it's a good environment for basketball.
