Thing to do in Free Time: I don't have much free time, but whenever I can, I go jet skiing. It's a thrill to skim over the waves riding fast and hard. the only problem I've had is one day we had a shark sighting where we were skiing. That made it a little more interesting.
Actors: My favorite actors are Angela Bassett, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Al Pacino and Denzel Washington. My favorite Al Pacino role has to be Michael Corleone in the "Godfather". I loved the way his character grew from a schoolboy into the most powerful don in America. You could see the transformation in his eyes, in his mannerisms, in his speech patterns. It was scary, awesome. Another awesome actor is Cate Blanchett. I loved her in "Elizabeth."
Musicians: I admire Lauryn Hill for her honesty and raw talent. Michael Jackson, especially during the "Thriller" years, was awesome. I grew up on Michael's music. And like most people my age, I knew all the words and moves from his videos. I also like Janet Jackson. I have liked her for years. She continues to grow as a musician, and I admire that.
First Dunk: I remember my first dunk vividly. It was my sophomore year in high school. It was the first game of the season against Strath Haven. It was a two-handed dunk, down the middle, fast break. I had dunked before in practice, but that was the first time ever in a game.
Memorable Game: My most memorable game in the NBA thus far is the All-Star Game in New York City for a lot of reasons. It was such a challenge to try to perform under such a spotlight. And on top of that, I was going up against Michael Jordan. It was just fun going out there and playing with so many great players.
Tattoos: Do I plan on getting a tattoo -- Absolutely not! I have nothing against people who get tattoos. My sister has one. But personally, that's not something that I would do. Tattoos are like jewelry to me. I wear very little jewelry - maybe a watch now and then. My feeling is, "If you're going to wear jewelry, make sure you're wearing the jewelry and the jewelry is not wearing you." But that's just me. My taste is conservative.
Pet Peeve: My biggest Pet Peeve is lazy people. I come from a family of hard workers. I don't know anything else. I find it hard to accept people who are unwilling to put forth the effort necessary to accomplish a goal.
