I've always been able to shoot the ball, so it's just about continuing to work on your shot and shoot the ball. That's the main thing. Got to get those shots up.
For me, I'm still going to shoot the halfcourt shot if I can. I don't worry about my percentages too much. It's about winning games.

To have a superstar - he's Allen Iverson - he really took me under his wing and really forced me to shoot the ball and forced me to make plays, and to have him do that for me - and the way he was always in my ear telling me to shoot the ball and supporting me - it's a big deal.
The two biggest things to understand when you're tracking the ball as a defensive back is your position on the field and understanding that once the ball is in the air you become the receiver. Too many young defensive backs worry about the receiver catching it or what the receiver is doing instead of focusing on what they should be doing. Just go out and make the play yourself, don't worry about him. Know where the ball is and attack it. Put yourself in position to bat it or catch it and make the play.

The hardest people to play in front of are my brothers and friends from childhood, because I can never take them seriously. I know when they're sitting in the stands; it's constant jokes. They're just waiting on me to shoot an air ball or dribble the ball off my foot so they can laugh.

It took for me to get to the Lakers and for my teammates to help me get through that mental block that I had. Anytime I was open, anytime it even looked like I might be open, they always told me, 'Shoot the ball. We don't care if it goes in or if you don't make it. Just shoot it.'
The numbers I've shot, the percentages, they obviously are what they are and people are going to dissect everything but, I honestly feel like they're all going to go in when I shoot the ball.
