I wouldn't change my experience for anything. It made me the person I am today. Not just on the court but off the court.
I'm a different person off the court than I am on the court, where I'm very competitive, a perfectionist, and I can be hard on myself sometimes. Off the court, nothing really bothers me. I'm easy-going.
I'm not the same person on the court. I'm different when I'm off the court. Off the court, I don't need to be aggressive or anything.
Life has changed both on and off the court after the Rio Olympics medal. I have a lot of confidence on the court now and feel anything is possible. I also feel that I have improved my game. Off the court, I do get recognised more now.
For me, college was a big learning experience on and off the court, just growing as a person, becoming more mature.
I am two different people. What you see on the court is just natural for me. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I have always said 'C'mon' purely to fire myself up. Off the court, I am a lot shyer. I stick to my team and my family and people I trust.
The person I am on the court is not who I am off the court.
When I step onto the court, I don't have to think about anything. If I have a problem off the court, I find that after I play, my mind is clearer and I can come up with a better solution. It's like therapy. It relaxes me and allows me to solve problems.
I'd rather have most of my life private. So, what you do see in me is on the court, and on the court, I am competitive. I'm an irritant to the other team. Emotional. Fired up. And so that's what people see, and that's what they judge off of.
When you're on the court, there is certain things that you would do that you wouldn't do off the court. When you get off, you obviously have to be gracious and a humble person. When you are on the floor, be a team player. Championships are what you are defined by - legacy. Go about things the right way.
The other reason that I am here today, again from the State Department and from the court record of the court of appeals, is that when I am abroad I speak out against the injustices against the Negro people of this land.
I try to show a little bit of excitement, only when I'm on the court, but off the court I'm just chill.
Once I get on the court - I've been on the court with my own brother before and tried to rip his head off, so that shows the kind of competitor I am.
Just being out on court, just all the experience you get on court can only help.
I know for me, when I'm on the court I'm totally different than when I'm off of the court.
I've always talked on-court and off-court. It's not something tough for me.
Many fans give me too much love on court, off court as well.
