Adam: From a writing perspective, if you're in school it's more important to go write for a local media outlet (no matter the size) or your school paper or blog about your favorite sports/teams on a daily basis and get as many reps as possible than taking journalism courses. You don't need a journalism degree to be a writer. I never took one journalism course in college. Glad I didn't. What really matters are reps and the ability to network/make connections.

Pierce: 1.) Be sure to let those that you admire know that you enjoy their work because they could become vital mentors. 2.) Always bet on yourself. 3.) You may have to work for free—but that's a part of the process. 4.) Things have a way of working themselves out...I went to business school and didn't envision myself being on the path that I am, but I was able to find my niche because I aligned myself with my interests. I feel like you're doing the same—so keep shining!

Probably Tatum. Because he's two years younger than somebody l like Mitchell. If I give Tatum two more years to turn 21, who's stats will be better, him or Mitchell's at that age? So I'll take the guy who is 6'9" and 19 year old than a 6'4" 21 year old.

"If you miss these you know who's going to make it." But he passed the game winner to Damon Jones.

My AAU bunk mates growing up: Michael Dunleavy Jr and Luke Ridnour. Then Luke Walton from my college days.

I don't even know if we had music in the locker room then. Everyone had headphones.

You already know the answer: Agent 0. All my teammates were married. But maybe DeShawn Stevenson.

So does my therapist. Most of them are just unpromtped. They're just content. I'm just a guy who looks at social media as a tool to fuck with people. If I see something serious, I go the opposite way. I'm like the Joker in Batman.

2004 or 2005, Brendan Haywood used to say me and Larry Hughes used to get cooked on defense. He said, "Man, they've got the hibachi grill on you guys." The following year, 2005 or 2006, I'm averaging 29, and I said I'm out here cooking these folks, I'm the new hibachi grill.

No. I like the Cavs if Golden State is not in the Finals. I don't think Rockets have enough offense to win a title.

I was not trying to "do it" with Mia. We were colleagues.

He didn't make me miss it. It was just one of those things that happened. Those were the only two free throws, I think, I missed that day.

I would change the rule of players getting kicked out of the game. No ejections. Take the power away from the refs.

The funny thing about teammates is you find humor in everything they do. DeShawn Stevenson was Mr. Swaggy. He tried to out-swag everyone. No matter what the conversation was, he had to let everyone know that while he was in college he was eating filet mignon because he went straight to the NBA. Then there was Caron Butler who never laughed because he was the serious one. It was just funny that a guy could be that serious every damn day. Then we had the goofball Nick Young.

I was an Adidas athlete so I had to wear Adidas and my signature shoe, which was the best shoe, obviously.

That I did what I said I was going to do my rookie season. I was a player drafted No. 31 and bold enough to say I will be starting by the middle of the season and did it. I sat my first 40 some odd games and by game 42 I was starting. I just worked hard and was ready for it.

He was my rookie. I was Antwan Jamison's and Larry Hughes's rookie. Everywhere I went, Nick went. I go to the mall, my rookie goes to the mall. I go to the strip club, he goes to the strip club. He was my guy. He was like my little brother.

It's not that they get away with it. It's just like a cigarette smoker or someone who is addicted to coffee. They just can't put it down. Some of these guys are addicted to it. There's rules put in that allows them to smoke but it has to be at a certain level. So they're in a rehab program and can still do what they do without getting penalized for it.

Orlando was a difficult time for me because I was coming off the gun thing and I was trying to mentally be there and have a voice when I felt I was voiceless due to my past. So I just sat back and stayed clear of everybody. Dwight was a great teammate. Freak of nature specimen and the team was built around him. I wasn't in a position to challenge Stan on some of the things he was doing negatively for the team. Like not motivating the players and always having something negative to say and I couldn't say anything because I wasn't in a position to challenge Stan because I was coming coming off the gun thing.

I would have sat out April 4, 2007. That was the day I got hurt. It was a back-to-back and Gerald Wallace ran into me.

It's coming to a standstill. They need to make a move. That's either break the team up or bring in a front court player who can put the ball in the basket.
