Michael Jordan and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were the two guys with unstoppable moves.
Andre Iguodala
Every player goes through streaks where they're just not making their shots. It may last two games, it may last ten games, and a lot of times, it's something off the court that is bothering you, or coach might cut your minutes for some unknown reason.
It's a really good place for me to be, on the golf course.
At the end of the day, everybody wants to win.
The same way you train yourself to be physically gifted player - whether you do weights, or running to get in shape or swimming - the mental side is the same way. You've got to train yourself to be ready for whatever.
Seattle was my favorite team growing up, so I know a little bit about Coach Karl and his history. He's one of the best coaches in the game, well-respected by much of his peers and much of his players.
I'm wearing a blazer, like, all the time. That's my go-to - a blazer - and I can just figure out if I want to wear jeans or slacks. Turn it into a suit.
Ben Horowitz, he's the guy. He's really big into hip-hop, and he's a brainiac.
You see a lot of finesse players in our league who have a lot of success.
In golf, you're more competing with yourself.
I'm just a golf enthusiast where I enjoy the game so much, and I'm excited.
The majority of NBA players' upbringing, there's not much financial education.
I owe a lot to my teammates.
My game has really picked up in the NBA.
When you first come in the NBA, you have a lot of conversations about saving your money, financially educating yourself, not just trusting whoever it is handling your money, not just having those meetings once a year, and not really putting the effort into learning the same way you learn your craft on the court.
When things aren't going right, I can get out on the golf course, and when things are going really good on the court, I can go and enjoy the scenery, enjoy the weather. And when I'm too high, I can have golf humble me and beat me up a little bit.
I have a drive to get more steals and improve my game and stats overall every year.
I've been blessed to be in the NBA.
There are a lot of guys who average a lot of points, but they make the game hard for themselves, and they make the game hard for their teammates, and that's why you never really see them win or get deep in the playoffs.
Most of the time, it's easy for us basketball players to adjust to our situation.
I'm just really excited to play basketball in America and to be free and all that.
The biggest thing is becoming a better player and proving your doubters wrong.
I got a yoga mat, I do yoga twice a week. I do both regular and hot yoga. Lululemon has an extra large yoga mat, longer and wider, so it fits me.
I came to the Bay Area not just to play basketball but to explore business interests.
Because of my Nigerian heritage, Jumia's use of technology to deliver innovative online services to consumers and improve the quality of everyday life in Africa is very important to me. I'm thrilled to be a part of this unique enterprise that is shaping the future of digital Africa.
The key to success is to find things that you have a passion for and would enjoy doing, even if you weren't getting paid to do it.
When I was growing up, there wasn't too much technology. There weren't so many channels that we were glued to on TV. We had to go outside and create our games. Kids had the habit of being active and exercising, just enjoying the fresh air.
I wasn't highly touted coming out of high school, so it wasn't like I was expecting to get a lot of minutes. For me, I didn't know how good a player I was, even though I think I did decent as a freshman.
When I introduce my basketball friends to golf, I tell them to just swing halfway. The power is the easy part.
It's a real accomplishment for me, personally, to be named to the All-Star team.
In high school, I figured I'd get a few extra baskets by getting steals. I would just pressure up the ball.
I'm pretty fast getting up and down the court, especially with Andre Miller.
The sixth man, the position, I don't have a problem with, but the award - it's not that it's not important, but being singled out, it's like affirmative action or something like that to me. So, it's like, whatever.
Yoga helps me with basketball, but it helps me outside of it more than anything.
I feel like golf has brought me some peace.
That's the number one thing for a guy for a new coach coming in. You've really got to buy into the system and believe it's going to work because, if you don't, it's going to cause conflict, and you're not always going to be on the same page as the other guys on the team or with the coach.
People ask what message I have for kids, and it's simple: Just go outside.
They make documentaries like 'Fast Food Nation.' The food our kids are eating in schools, the vending machines kids go to a lot, the portions of food that American restaurants are serving that are bigger than anywhere else in the world - it's kind of crazy.
Especially as pro athletes, at the highest level, what we put into our bodies plays a huge part in our performance.
I understand that, in this league, there are a lot of guys who can be All Stars, be superstars, so timing and circumstance plays a huge role.
Sometimes fans, sometimes even players, they don't know the game sometimes, and they look at numbers, or they use smoke-and-mirrors as far as who's a top 15 player, who's a top 20 player.
You've got organizations out there that are consistently at a high level. They're known to play the right way at the right time.
The Spurs, obviously - you look at an organization like that and say that's what you want to be consistent, because they've become consistent. That's what you start striving for night in and night out.
It's just something I pride myself on as a basketball player, having that knowledge, being the guy who can go to any situation and make the situation better for that team.
It's natural to me. I played point guard my whole life up until my senior year of high school. Most people don't know that. It's just in my game.
A lot of sixth men have more responsibility, and they've made more of an impact sometimes than 80 percent of the rest of the guys on the team, so it's just a name.
It's definitely important for kids to learn in many different settings.
It's similar to basketball: when you go to different gyms and win or lose, you learn something new. So when kids get out of the classroom, go to a new environment and meet different people, it opens their eyes to new things, and they have fun learning.
When I played, I just wanted to guard the best player, and I didn't want him to score. That was just it, just competing. Along the way, it just kept building that I could be a great defender.
I wanted to be the best player, so I thought in order for me to be the best player, I had to guard the best player on the court.
