I love being around Dirk. Off the court, he is hilarious. Like, one of the funniest dudes I've ever been around and I don't think people realize because, you know, they see him on the court as an absolute killer.
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.
I started in theatre when I was 13 or 14 years old and did a lot of theatre until my early thirties. Off-Broadway stuff - off-off-off-off-Broadway stuff - and I do love it.
Many fans give me too much love on court, off court as well.
I know for me, when I'm on the court I'm totally different than when I'm off of the court.
I love fast breaks, and I love playing full-court basketball, but offensively in the half court, I kind of take my time, let guys cut, and let the defense move. Then, if I have a move, I'll go. If not, I'll just hand it off to a teammate.
I try to let the people I do business with off the court know that I'm serious about my business off the court. So I try not to mix the two.
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.
A lot of people didn't know why I went to Cal. The Bay Area, Silicon Valley, I wanted to put myself in that position where I'm not only successful on the court but off the court.
We all know my image of the last decade, look I can't take it back. I am who I am, I've done what I've done. I've had problems off court, I've been arrested and stuff, but that's that.
I've grown a lot in my time in San Antonio, both on and off the court, and probably off the court most importantly.
If you take the chance to get to know me off the court, you'll see that I'm not the bad guy that everybody wants me to be on the court.
I'm a very creative person in general. I like to create stuff in my downtime off the court.
In the game of basketball, I play first off because I love it. I love to have fun. I love to run up and down the court.
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.
