Who is the best point guard you have played against?
I’ve played against a lot. John Stockton was probably the best one.
When did you start playing basketball?
When I was a baby, my dad played professionally. So, ever since I can remember, I had a ball in my hand, whether it was Styrofoam or whatever with a little hoop.
Who’s your favorite player on the Kings?
I like everybody. Me and Francisco Garcia are probably the closest out of everyone on the team. I had a lot of years in the NBA when he came into the league. Older guys take rookies under their wings and I kind of taught him the ropes. We go out and eat and stuff, too.
How did you get to be so good at basketball?
I did it by practicing a lot. I wanted to be the best. I knew when I wasn’t practicing, other people were. So, I’d make sure when I came to play I was ready. I had to practice to be the best and with that, I came out on top.
What’s your favorite part about basketball?
Just the competition. I’m a competitor, so I like to compete.
How does it feel when you hit game winners?
It feels good. Either you’re going to miss it or make it. I’ve never seen anybody go through life without missing a basket! So, you have to shoot it like you’re going to make it.
Do you have many friends that are point guards?
I try to make friends throughout the whole NBA. It’s a little like college, where everybody is doing the same thing. We’re trying to achieve the same goals, no matter what team you’re on, so everybody is usually friendly with everybody.
What do you do when you’re not playing basketball?
I have three kids! When I’m not playing basketball, I’m usually hanging out with them and playing video games.
Are you friends with Dwayne Wade?
I know him, but I’m not really friends with him though.
What kind of video games do you like?
Sports games. I can play everything though. I play Tetras, football, basketball, boxing, baseball.
Who is the main team you guys want to beat?
The rivalry for us is the Lakers.
What other sports do you like to play other than basketball?
When I was younger I played baseball and football growing up. Baseball is kind of slow. I landed on my neck one time when I was playing football! Then I stuck with basketball.
Who is your favorite football team?
My cousin plays for the Lions right now, so I’m going to have to with the Lions.
Who’s your favorite player in the NBA?
I like the way a lot of other players play. Mostly, I like to watch Kevin Garnett, because of his intensity.
Do you and the Kings dislike Robert Horry?
It sucks that he made that shot. But that’s the way life is. You can’t do anything to fix it. It happened and there’s nothing you can do about it.
Do you miss playing with Vlade and B-Jax?
Yeah, they are good guys. When we had that team, the camaraderie was great! When I first came here, they were already good. So, when I came here they made me feel like I had been on the team for my whole career. It made it easier for me and I had so much fun with them.
What do you think about the draft pick you guys got this year?
He’s good. I haven’t really seen him play yet, but he’s a big guy. He’s a big body and that’s always good.
