You gotta want to get better. You gotta want to take the next step. And I always want to get better, I always want to expand my game, expand my range.

All great rebounders don't give up on a play. They treat every shot as a miss and they go out there.

I'm never content. I'm always searching, looking for things to better myself.

For whatever reason, 34 is old. Not to me.

I believe your best preparation is to just get your rest and just go out there and continue to do what you've been doing, not to try to do anything uncharacteristic that you haven't been doing. That's my main thing.

Um, you know, I can see myself doing a lot of other things but in my life I've always had one goal throughout my life and that was to play basketball and try to be the best that I can out here at it.

A lot of people judge you on your height, your wingspan, but it's really about the will and the determination that defines a person.

I had to cut weight a few years ago, and I felt like I'll be better if I was lighter. I felt like my conditioning would be better if I eat better.

That's the bright side, even at 34 years old I know I can get better in several areas of my game, and that's my goal.

I've been a guy that everyone has counted out over the years as an undersized four-man. I've always been doubted.

For me, It's not necessarily about proving people wrong, but proving to myself that I can do it my way and still win.

As you get older, we have more opportunities, more things going on in our lives that we take it away from basketball and our bodies. If you continue to put the same energy into your body, into your craft, I think you'll be all right.

I don't care what anybody else says about age or years or whatever. I always feel I can get better.

It's fun to watch and fun to be a part of and I think that's what it's all about. You have to have fun playing basketball.

I don't care how long you've been in this league, you always have to be growing and improving.

I'm always the go-with-the-flow sort of person anyway, so with the game moving this way or that way, I'm going to go with it.

I've put a lot of time and effort into my body over the years. And it pays off.

I've been playing basketball for a long time, so I know when the energy isn't there and I need to step up and get the team going.

In the end, I want to try to be myself.

The older I get, the more I'm saving the day.

I'm very excited about being added to the USA Men's National Team roster.

I left my rhythm back in Denver.

As players, it's a thin line. You want to recover, but you also gotta get some practice time in.

Without practice, just playing games, a lot of habits kind of slip away.

I'm not going to pinpoint one thing, because I've worked hard to try to have all aspects of my game be pretty good. I want to grow everywhere.

I feel I can continue to grow as a player. I have a long time to continue to progress with my shooting, continue to keep my ball handling tight, continue to stay in shape. You know, all of it.

Every year is different. I always try to evolve, get better and find different areas and training that can benefit me.

I like to get fresh air.

The 2020 Election is believed to be the most important in our lifetime. Therefore, I've chosen to become more involved in the voting process by using my social media platform to encourage voting and my facility as a Dekalb County early voting polling station.

As a player, you have to see what's out there. But, at the end of the day, I knew Atlanta was my home, and it's where I wanted to be.

The decisions I make with my career is not just about me. It doesn't affect just me.
