You can't avoid the things that come along with being a basketball player. I want to carry the torch until somebody else comes along. I know there's a lot of kids who look up to me. And it's good when they're able to come out here because when I was growing up, I didn't have a chance to meet anybody famous from Mount Vernon. I just read about people from the community who were successful.
