Your touch and your feel for the game is pretty much gone if you don't work on it - at least get some shots up or dribble the ball.
Drinking water is essential to a healthy lifestyle.
Any East Coast road trip we have is very exciting, just being on the road, taking it all in.
The vibe in our locker room is real energetic and fun and real personable, I think from Day 1. That gets you through a lot of tough times, where in hard times, it might be common nature for guys to do their own thing and split up and become silent.
I never looked at my mantel and envisioned an MVP trophy sitting there. This is pretty crazy.
Most of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I'm going to execute it.
In the NBA, you're never immune to rumors and trade rumors and free agency stuff.
I'm 6'3" and 185 pounds on a good day, so I probably relate more to the casual fan who watches the game and is not super athletic, not this crazy monster of physical stature.
Someone did a graphic of me in my jersey, and Jordan, they dubbed him guarding me, and Kanye's face was on both of us. That's my favorite meme of all time - or so far to-date. I'm gonna have to get that blown up on my wall or something.
I had talked to a lot of people in Golden State's front offices before the draft. They said they liked me, but they had a lot of guards, so I didn't think that I would end up there.
I wasn't going to shy away from getting married when I did and having a baby young and starting a family, even with the job that I chose.
I won't have to do any major changes to continue my career a long way, hopefully. Just hopefully stay healthy and be able to help a team out as I go through and still play at a pretty high level.
To excel at the highest level - or any level, really - you need to believe in yourself, and hands down, one of the biggest contributors to my self-confidence has been private coaching.
When I moved out, my mom and dad came to help me get settled into my apartment - a place I ultimately got hooked up with in Coach Nelson's building. We had to figure out how to get all my shoes over here. That was a little stressful.
I'm very active on social media and see the huge impact it has on engaging with fans and being able to have a voice.
That feeling is so intoxicating, walking off the court holding the Larry O'Brien trophy. So I just want to do that again.
I have certain guys who I looked up to. Jordan, Kobe, those guys. Passing that on to doing my part to kind of keep that influence of basketball where it should be is kind of why I play the game.
It's really annoying for me. That's not what I'm playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron's throne or whatever.
For me, I don't want to cheat the game by saying, or kind of doing lip service by saying, I want to be the greatest ever. I want to be able to show it.
Back in Oakland, we have a lot of food in the locker room, but on the road, it's mostly just fruit. So we have to prepare differently. But really, once you get to the gym, everything on the road is pretty much the same.
