I've always watched the NBA growing up.

Coming to Beijing, throughout all of what has happened and the success I have gained, I look at it as I was just fortunate and blessed.

My favorite point guard, growing up, was Magic Johnson. The reason why I say that is he was a winner, and he did everything in his power to make his teammates better. That's what the game is all about as a point guard.

I learned to treat everybody with respect. I've learned to be focused, be a professional person, the kind who is always an honor to be around.

We don't like what we don't know or understand. Parents don't like the thought of their kids embracing social media because they don't fully understand the benefits and dangers.

I remember sitting there on my father's couch or my mother's couch, listening to this lecture about how there were two groups and we had to be separated. We've come a long way from this kind of open racism. And I think it's wonderful.

We started the family Bible after slavery was abolished. My great-grandmother remembered the Bible being started, which meant that she was a slave as a young girl. When she died, the Bible was at least 105 years old, so she must have been nearly 115 years old. Her daughter, my grandmother, died at 97, and her husband at 98.

We need a national family leave policy that will allow both men and women to take paid time off from work to care for a newborn or a sick relative.
