Playing basketball is second nature to me; acting I found far more challenging.
Basketball is a short period of time, and you've got to take advantage of it.
When I get on TV, I'm going to be talking about a silly basketball game, and I'm going to be having a lot of fun doing it. But I'm very aware of all the social stuff going on.
A football player is often bigger than a basketball player - more massive, that is. The basketball player is taller and more slender. So it is with redwoods. The tallest redwoods are often slender, and so they aren't the largest ones.
Basketball sneakers are for people who want to be comfortable. I rather be uncomfortable and just look nice.
My dad was a soccer player. He didn't know anything about basketball - nothing.
I've been an athlete my whole life. I've played every sport, including soccer, baseball, softball, basketball.
I sing the 'Star Spangled Banner,' so I can get into football, basketball and baseball games for free.
