Look, I won in high school, I won a national championship in college, I want to win one in the NBA. But winning a gold medal, I don’t think anything can top that.
I think I’ll always want to improve my defense. That’s something that can always be better. Not saying it’s bad now, just something you should always work on.

If you laugh, think, and cry; that’s a full day.
I just want to get on the court.
I’m a Baltimore Ravens fan and I’m a Baltimore Orioles fan. I have them tattooed on me.
Everything on my body has a meaning. I don’t do art just because. It does look cool but it also has a meaning.
