If you put negative things out about anyone every day, they're gonna start believing it, sorta like propaganda if you think about it.
I'm a producer and not a rapper. So I can make any style of music I want. I can make an EDM beat. I can put an EDM track out one day and I can put a grungy hip-hop track out the next day, like, it doesn't matter.
Usually I'm nowhere near the playoffs. My last game of the year is usually at the end of the regular season in April.
I don't think people really take pneumonia seriously when they hear it. But people really die from pneumonia: kids, older people, even just regular-aged people. They just die from pneumonia.
Blocking a shot can really demoralize a person and defer them from coming to the rim the rest of the game. So being able to do that and change the landscape of the game by one play is pretty amazing.
I'm not really a flashy dunker or a show dunker unless somebody's in front of me. That's the only time I really get wide-eyed: when I can dunk on somebody. If it's a wide-open dunk, I've never been the type to dunk it real hard wide-open and scream.
I went through that phase in my life where everything I did wrong was displayed into the public and all over national TV, so I went through a part of my life where I was afraid to do things because I didn't want to make a mistake.
You've just got to focus on you, yourself, your family, your team... and all the rest is just fluff.
It was a really empowering thing playing with Golden State, because they let the players play and they let the players communicate and they let the players decide things.
It's just a reassuring feeling, a confidence-builder I guess, knowing that you're going into a situation wanted as an option, like you're really wanted.
I feel like big men don't like it when they're getting fronted by smaller guys and they just staying real, real aggressive.
Yeah, I get frustrated. But I try not to let those frustrations get out into the media or get out onto the court in my play.
I feel like in the course of my career, I've been in the iPhone era and the dilution of the big man.
I definitely have to focus more and think more on what exactly I'm doing, rather than just use my athleticism.
I feel like people think that I have mental lapses and I'm injury-prone, which isn't true. You just don't know me.
Going to Golden State, I really fine-tuned everything on defense, which is important because the NBA is moving away from standard bigs and going toward bigs that can switch and things like that.
They see a blooper here and there, and they just think, 'Oh, he's dumb.' I mean, what can I do? I can't 'at' everyone on Twitter and tell them I'm not dumb. Because that looks dumb.
If you're just dunking by yourself, it's really nothing special. You have to dunk on someone - then you feel like you're demoralizing them.
My mother always made me do ball-handling and all that because she was like, 'What if you stop growing?'
