I've always appreciated basketball. I never tried to disrespect the game.
I have a huge admiration for fans in China. I think they're some of the greatest basketball fans in the world. I think they're passionate and love the game, almost second to none.
I know that I love the whole game of basketball, and that's what I've always believed in.
Basketball is booming, and it's not just an Under Armour standpoint: it's about the game itself. Kids going out and playing and being inspired by what we do on the court.
I consider myself a basketball aficionado and really understand and know the nuance. I'm a fan of the game. But more than an everyday fan. I love the nuance of the game.
I just like watching good basketball being played.
Chick Hearn was my favorite broadcaster ever - he's the one who taught me to think basketball, how to love basketball.
I cherish being on the court, and I really love watching basketball, women's basketball, whatever it is.
I know you can't please everybody; you can't make everybody happy, but just getting that perception that I don't care about basketball and what it brings is a lie.
If I watch a basketball game, I don't really care if a guy hit a three-pointer with three seconds left. I mean, I can like that. But I'm more interested in who drafted him and what makes him special.
I know how hard it is to shoot the basketball, so I've got great appreciation for it.
