That's what I want to do with my life. Be a good person when all the lights are off. When everybody doesn't need to see you, shine and know that you know you did the right thing at the end of the day.
I'm a really big fan of hip-hop, and I can listen to it before the game, but I'm not that into a lot of profane music.
I don't think a lot of people consider golf a sport. It's kind of a leisure event. I would like to play. And I'd like to learn how to shoot a bow and arrow.
On the Sabbath, I'm supposed to focus on Jesus and the resurrection. But if I don't practice, I let the team down. I don't want my teammates to think that I think I'm special.
The great players always have that one older player, that one vet they competed against who was older.
Without my church, without my teaching of good morals, I wouldn't be the Jabari that I am today. It's the foundation that my family stands on. If we do things on a consistent basis that are positive, it'll all work out.
When you grow up where healthy food isn't easily accessible, you eat a lot of processed food and whatever else is available - McDonalds, fast food, cheap food.
You've got to stay in the weight room because those type of exercises relieve stress and tension. It's just like a stretch, when you do weight-lifting programs and regimens.
No matter how far I get into my career, even if I get hurt again, it's just a part of who I am. On the flip, I'm a warrior, I'm a soldier, I get up. As many times as I fell, I've still gotten up, and that's way more rewarding to me than any other thing that I've ever accomplished, and I'm proud of that.
People in life have those issues - ups and downs - and I'm just a trailblazer to show whatever you do, you always get up. No matter how far you fall, you always get up.
I know nobody likes practice, nobody enjoys it, but you have to build some type of excitement and expectation and learn something.
I pray that God keeps me safe on the floor, and that I'm able to have a good attitude towards my teammates.
My dad is more credible than almost anybody I know. Growing up, I think I took for granted having a father in my life. I know I shouldn't have been like that. A lot of my friends didn't have a father, so for so many people he was the father figure. I look at the way he's lived his life, sacrificing so much.
I want to play at the highest level, the NBA, and one day be one of the greatest basketball players ever.
My dad taught me to be professional, to treat others the way you want to be treated, to be selfless, to give more than you receive and to always give your best effort.
I wouldn't express myself as shy. I have to be in my comfort zone, like everybody else. You have to take time to feel people out. You can't give them too much at once.
You don't need a ton of moves to get to where you want to be. You don't have to expend energy in a wasteful way. That doesn't mean not playing hard. It means playing smart.
