If You Look Back At My Story,

With All The Media Attention, All The Love From The Fans, I Felt I Needed To Prove Myself. Prove That I'm Not A Marketing Tool, I'm Not A Ploy To Improve Attendance. Prove I Can Play In This League. But I've Surrendered That To God. I'm Not In A Battle With What Everybody Else Thinks Anymore.

I Have Worked Out With The Thunder, Lakers, Knicks, Grizzlies, Spurs, And A Few Others Before The Draft. I Have Worked Out Primarily Against Shorter And Supposedly Faster Players In These Workouts.

People Started Saying, 'oh You Know, He's Quicker Than He Looks', And I'm Like, 'what Does That Mean? Do I Look Slow, Or I'm Not Really Sure What That Means.

And When Other People See Me Play Basketball...the Way I Treat My Teammates, The Opponents, The Refs, That's All A Reflection Of God's Image And God's Love So That's The Stuff I Try To Focus On.

I Realize I Had To Learn ... To Stop Chasing The Perishable Prizes Of This Earth ... And Give My Best Effort Unto God And Trust Him With The Results.
