I don't do anything malicious or anything in a negative manner. I'm all about positivity and making people smile is positive.
JaVale McGee
For lunch, it's usually a salad with sunflower seeds, cucumbers, celery, and a lot of vegetables.
I love being around positive people and making people smile.
I've been the same goofy guy I've been this whole time.
I'm definitely excited about getting better.
I always look at Akon as inspiration, and the fact that at one point Lady Gaga was signed to Konvict Muzik.
As a kid, you always wanna play for either the Lakers or Boston just for the rivalry alone.
I've always been a high-percentage shooter, obviously because I'm dunking and laying the ball up.
Personally I'm just trying to take advantage of every moment that I get.
I don't think people really take pneumonia seriously when they hear it. But people really die from pneumonia: kids, older people, even just regular-aged people. They just die from pneumonia.
I went through that phase in my life where everything I did wrong was displayed into the public and all over national TV, so I went through a part of my life where I was afraid to do things because I didn't want to make a mistake.
Yeah I definitely rep the city of Flint.
I was in Dallas and I had gained weight and knew becoming a vegetarian was the quickest way to lose it. I just wasn't sure if I could do it.
Personally, I've always been a philanthropist. I've always given away turkeys and did gift giveaways.
For breakfast, I'll have some oatmeal, avocado toast, and a shake.
I feel like there was a belief that I couldn't play more than 10 minutes in the league because of asthma or because of anything.
It's definitely a grind. Come to the gym early, leave late.
I just do whatever I want to do.
My favorite artists would be Drake, Future.
The best thing when you get pneumonia is rest - that's it, just rest.
Being on a team with four All-Stars is unheard of.
If you're just dunking by yourself, it's really nothing special. You have to dunk on someone - then you feel like you're demoralizing them.
I stay in my lane and do what I want to do. I don't worry about the outside world.
I don't feel like I'm influenced by anybody, but I feel I'm definitely becoming more a leader.
Dinner is usually just pasta with mushrooms.
As long as I'm efficient, I'm just going to try to be the most efficient player I can be.
It's definitely more important to finish games than start games.
I'm a multi-skilled big.
I can pass and I can shoot and I can do some other things also.
Blocking a shot can really demoralize a person and defer them from coming to the rim the rest of the game. So being able to do that and change the landscape of the game by one play is pretty amazing.
I'm not really a flashy dunker or a show dunker unless somebody's in front of me. That's the only time I really get wide-eyed: when I can dunk on somebody. If it's a wide-open dunk, I've never been the type to dunk it real hard wide-open and scream.
You've just got to focus on you, yourself, your family, your team... and all the rest is just fluff.
It was a really empowering thing playing with Golden State, because they let the players play and they let the players communicate and they let the players decide things.
I'm not afraid to fail - at all.
It inspires me to see people who don't have much, but still give so much to others.
It's low-key depressing when you're not winning.
We call Michael Beasley a walking bucket. All he needs is some dishwater and a mop.
If I get traded, I get traded. It's a part of the business.
It's all love in L.A. The fans are great.
Rondo is great with the steals, also on offense with the passing and court vision.
It's just a reassuring feeling, a confidence-builder I guess, knowing that you're going into a situation wanted as an option, like you're really wanted.
I'm just going to keep preparing for the best.
I feel like big men don't like it when they're getting fronted by smaller guys and they just staying real, real aggressive.
Yeah, I get frustrated. But I try not to let those frustrations get out into the media or get out onto the court in my play.
I try to bring positivity to the team.
I tend to do well against big 4s who are real skilled because I'm tall, lanky and athletic.
I just want to contribute to our wins.
Everything I do is premeditated.
I chose basketball over film.
People try to bring negativity into my life, but it's crazy how I deflect it.
