I always speak my mind. Whether it be something that's going on in the world, something on the basketball court, or just something I saw with somebody else that's not right.

We'll go on vacation, but we don't really care to go see Rome or anything. We just want to play dominoes. We like the fact that we can say, 'Oh, we went to Rome.' 'Well, what'd you do in Rome?' 'Played dominoes'.
I'm a competitor; I'm in here talking - come at me. If you score on me, I'm gonna tap you on your butt. You got the best of me - but you got to do it every time.

You can lose. Michael Jordan lost, but that doesn't mean he wasn't the GOAT.
It's the heart that I play with on every single possession. And that's all that it is.

I play dominoes all the way until I got Bible study. And then I do Bible study. I go to the game. After the game, come home. Dinner. Dominoes until I go to sleep. I'm. Not. Joking.
I play really hard. I put my body on the line every damn practice. Every day in the games. That's my passion. That's how I give to the game.
I've learned enough times in life that saying something is completely different than acting upon it.
