You just need a good coach. A coach that you respect.

Everything in moderation is what I always try to tell myself. But whether you're an athlete or not, its always important to eat healthy.

L.A. has such great restaurants, from fancy spots to hole-in-the-wall, there is something for everybody.

I didn't eat at many restaurants when I was younger. There wasn't much in South Central anyways, except for fast food joints.

When I was growing up, my grandmother cooked every day. She is the best chef ever.

No, no, no, I'm not a fashion show type of dude.

I always like to shop and for me it was just about seeing things I like and making it part of my wardrobe and collecting things that I could always bring back when I'm like 50, 60 years old.

I think, overall, the NBA and its players are really conscious about our role and what we do as role models.

I will never demand to be traded. Because if I do, then I'm at fault, I'm the bad guy, I'm the crybaby, I'm immature.

I think J.Crew has figured out a way to make young professional guys look cool with a polished suit that looks expensive but is actually affordable.

If you want to make a statement, wear purple.

I think purple is a great color.

Where there's love, there's hate; where there's positivity, there's ignorance.

I want to be able to let people who aren't used to seeing a Santa of color say, 'Wow, there he is.' It's time for America to diversify.

For me, Santa was white, and he was in Coca Cola commercials. You never saw a black Santa on TV and in movies, and when you did, it was usually a bum with a Santa hat, or a bunch of jewelry.

I just like to write. You can't play basketball 16 hours a day, so it's just working out, working on your body, take a nap, watch some TV, watch some games, and write.

Some relationships aren't meant to last forever. Some friends aren't meant to last forever. But certain ones will.

I used to always brick. I used to always do like UCLA or Indiana late game, on the road, and I'll always miss.

I grind. I hustle. I don't have time to get no haircut.

'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.
