At the end of the day, if I can prevent the shot from getting to the rim, it's going to help my team.

For me, defense is something that's important.

For whatever the reasons may be, a lot of teams try to target me as a defender from a standpoint of assuming I'm not very great at it.

When I come off the bench, I have that intensity and that effort. That's something all of us guys are trying to bring, but especially the guys off the bench. Because we can play a role in any game, let alone the playoffs.

As guys know that you're a shooter, well, they're going to try to run you off the line.

I think October baseball is a lot of fun to follow, being a biased guy that enjoys the sport from time to time.

You look at the body types of some of the strongest people in the world, they're compact. They can move their body weight because there's not as much distance to go.

I'm pretty confident in my strength, my ability to move, and athleticism.

This is the analogy I use is: A lot of guys tape their ankles, a lot of guys use braces on their ankles. But that becomes something your body relies on. It actually weakens your ankle muscles. So if you were to ever not use the tape or brace, or do lifts, you may not be as strong.

Part of being in the 450 players within the NBA, it's kind of a fraternity field, and if I can help them get involved in some business ventures they have interest in and help educate them along the way, I feel it is my duty to do so.
