LaMarcus Aldridge

I'm definitely not one to prolong things and drag it out, that's not really my personality.

I think every player wants to be wanted.

I do love being at home. But when it's forced, it's a little bit different.

I feel like I've made some good memories in San Antonio. I feel like I'm in a really good family in San Antonio. They understand me. I understand them.

My biggest thing I've learned is just putting time into getting ready. When we're young, you just go on the court and just hoop. But I think as you get older, it's more about, making sure everything is firing and making sure everything is ready to go and warmed up.

I'm a fighter. So if you're going to doubt me or say that I can't do something, I'm going to prove to you I can do it.

I've always been a workout type guy. So if I'm feeling down or I'm not happy with something, I go to the gym and I get a shot of energy.

I've been playing NBA Live since I was little, and I won't lie, I always play with the team with the highest rating.

My first car was an '86 Honda Prelude. It was redone, so it had a new motor, new paint, rims... but it wasn't nearly as much as my Range Rover.

I love video games. I had a Sega Genesis and a Nintendo 64 growing up, and I've had every 'NBA Live' that has ever come out.

I really enjoy being out on the court and going through the grind and battling. That's something a video game can't do for you.

My coach, Robert Allen, helped me a lot. He had more influence on my growth as a player than anyone else.

When I was younger, I used to spend a lot of time either by myself or with my mom. But when I hit high school, she really became one of my close friends.
