BE ACTIVE
1. What do you do during the off season to stay in shape and improve your game?
I stay in the gym six days per week working on my game, lifting and doing conditioning. Working about three hours per day keeps my game sharp over the summer so I can get ahead going into the next season.
2. How do you motivate yourself to work out and what do you do to keep your workouts from getting boring?
I motivate myself knowing that if I am not in the gym, someone else is trying to take my spot. The NBA is competitive and you have to continue to get better every day.
3. What type of exercises do you do to help build your endurance?
Long distance running, riding my bike around town and swimming.
EAT HEALTHY
4. What do you eat for breakfast to get you going for the day?
Fruit, eggs and waffles with a nice glass of orange juice. Sometimes I’ll have a bagel.
5. What is your favorite pre-game meal? How do you recharge after a tough workout?
My wife makes a mean pasta dish when I am at home. On the road I eat a turkey sandwich and fruit.
PLAY TOGETHER
6. What types of activities did you use to do with your family to stay healthy when you were a kid?
We loved to play basketball in the driveway, and now me and my dad play golf a lot (usually walking the course).
7. When you were growing up, what were some of your favorite activities that you did with your friends?
Rollerblading, riding bikes and playing other sports.
