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 try to bring positivity to the team.
I tend to do well against big 4s who are real skilled because I'm tall, lanky and athletic.
I just want to contribute to our wins.
Everything I do is premeditated.
I chose basketball over film.
People try to bring negativity into my life, but it's crazy how I deflect it.
I don't need to be a banger. I dunk on people.
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 block shots and stay out the way.
I'm hoping I'm remembered as one of the most prolific shot-blockers.
I used to be a wait-at-the-rim big, more of a Rudy Gobert-type of player.
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.
I'm not really a confrontational person.
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.
It's just crazy the way people portray me.
My mother always made me do ball-handling and all that because she was like, 'What if you stop growing?'
In high school I used to go coast to coast all the time at 6-11.
