From Esquire:
I wasn’t real quick, and I wasn’t real strong. Some guys will just take off and it’s like, whoa. So I beat them with my mind and my fundamentals.
The key to being a good shooter is balance. Everything follows balance.
When I was a kid, I never thought about anything. Never had to think about where I was going to school or what I was going to do. I just lived minute to minute. If I was playing basketball and someone said, Let’s go to the baseball field, we would go. Never had a vacation. We never had the funds. Being outside, that was my vacation.
In high school, I went from six two to six six in one summer. You put on a pair of pants and you go, “Them ain’t working.” I’d get my mom to put extensions on them. And they’d be no good a month later.
When I went to college, I went from six six to six nine. If I had been six five, I never would have been in the league. That four inches made all the difference.
