'E.T.' and 'Star Wars' were cult movies then and opened up a brand new world of adventure and mystery. But as much as I would have loved to be friends with E.T., I realized that following in the footsteps of Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan was more realistic.

I was 5'3' when I was 15, but suddenly shot up to over 6 feet by the time I turned 18 and it was clear that an NBA career was up for grabs.

Movies play a very important part in my life and I think the most number of films are made in India.

Breakfast would be, like, egg whites with tomatoes, turkey sausage and feta cheese. Then for lunch I'd have salmon and spinach or something like that.

I think basketball becomes an outlet for it, an opportunity to get that frustration out and forget about all the problems and things you have going on in your life outside.

I can tell by body language who wants a shot and who's going to make it and who's going to take a bad shot.

I've always been fascinated with storytelling.

As a parent, you worry about kids' safety and the world they're living in.

I never saw Black Santa growing up. I would have loved to.

There's not a lot of hope coming from the inner city.

Basketball saved my life.

If I make it in the NBA or wind up playing overseas, I will be at peace.

I played with a herniated disk that I didn't find out was herniated until I tore my meniscus.

One thing I am is a leader and if I'm not allowed to lead, then I have to follow. So then I want to be the best follower that I can.

I can dominate a game at any point.

I want people to come to Clipper games and smile. I want people to come to Clipper games and be entertained and dance and laugh.

I have thick skin.

My grandfather built a basketball court for me when I was 3 years old as a Christmas present, and I would go back there every day all day and just play basketball.

I'm a huge fan of Clyde Frazier and Earl Monroe.

I feel like basketball is my outlet. Basketball is an opportunity for me to get all my emotions out.

I can probably go down in history as the best backup point guard ever in NBA history.

In street ball, you really don't care about playing defense, unless it's some kind of flashy steal or a big block where you bat the ball across the court, but all you're really worried about is scoring.

I've played at Rucker Park a couple of times. It's cold blooded. It's hype in there, real hype.

Street basketball is all about shakes and fakes, crossing your defender up. The NBA is more strategic.
