I have a lot of eyes on me because of basketball, a lot of young people looking up to me. It's made me grow up faster.

I've done this a couple times, been to a couple different camps and a couple different AAU practices to talk to kids. I tell them you have to be dedicated, have to decide if you want to be a serious basketball player or not. They always ask, 'What if you get discouraged?' You have to remember what your goal was in the first place.

You see a lot of guys in the NBA make dumb mistakes.
