Growing up, I played about every sport imaginable except soccer and hockey. I remember actually playing basketball when I was two or three years old. The time I knew that I could really take my game to the next level, there were two different occurrences. It was my first year of AAU and my team got third place in the nation. We did real good that year. I saw the guys that I was playing against and I felt that the next year I could be just as good as those guys if not better.
After that had finished, I told my dad that I wanted to go to the NBA and I wanted to become the best basketball player.
It was just the little stuff that I was always faithful over. Stuff like shoes, I really took advantage of the shoes I got. I remember when I was 12 years old I had two pairs of shoes. I had some white Pro Wings and some black Pro Wings.

I always wanted to come out of high school and go into the NBA. I felt that I was ready. I prepared myself physically and spiritually to become eligible for the draft. I just felt that it was my time and God wanted me to do it.
They were talking about me being the number-one or number-two pick my whole senior year. I wrote my goal down at the beginning of my senior year that I was going to go number one in the draft. I made a commitment when I was 13 or I was dating a young lady and I thought I was in love with her.
She broke my heart and I was looking for love in the wrong places instead of looking for love with God. That was one instance when I knew I had to get my life straight.
