"FacebookPinterest\n\nThere's been a big theme in New York\u2014about how there was talk of the Knicks drafting me, and then me getting picked up by the Warriors instead. I thought the talk would all be over once the Draft passed, or that maybe it would last a couple weeks at the very latest. But the question still comes up: Is this game going to be special because you wanted to be here? No, not really. It's special because it's in the Garden, but that's pretty much the extent of it. I'm just trying to pass it off as any other game. It's kind of a distraction.\n\nI went shopping yesterday. One of my agents knows the Ralph Lauren rep, so we went down to Madison Avenue and went to a couple of the stores there. I picked up some good stuff. Then my trainer I worked out with this summer invited me to a charity event for the Robin Hood Foundation. They had their Thanksgiving rally for the homeless at a place called Mansion. It was a fun time.\n\nThis New York game was my biggest ticket request of the season thus far. I have 25 people coming to the game. The guy I'm living with in Oakland, he's from New York, so his family's going to be there. And a guy who I played with in high school, he goes to UNC-Wilmington and he called me and said, \"Yo, I'm in New York.\" So I'm going to get lunch with him, and then get a quick nap, then head right back to the Garden.\n\nAll the travel doesn't give us much of an opportunity to get to know these cities. In Indianapolis, we got in the night before the game, and we left immediately after the game. We basically saw the hotel, the gym, and a restaurant. In New York, we had practices, but we got an entire day to hang out in the city. It all just depends on how the schedule falls. We're heading to Milwaukee next. One night in New York, three nights in Milwaukee... My Dad played for the Bucks for a year and I went for a two-week visit. I was in sixth grade, but I don't really remember all that much.\n\nI've started playing cards on the plane with my teammates. I just learned how to play this game called Bourr\u00C3\u00A9. It's kind of like a version of spades, and it's pretty intense. I never really played much before, and my trainer had been telling me, \"Don't get caught up in card games on the plane. They'll drain you.\" Then, sure enough, I get on the plane and I'm like, \"What are y'all playing?\" And they say, \"We're playin' bourr\u00C3\u00A9, wanna play?\" And they taught me how, and now we play every road trip on the plane. The rule is that if you start playing, you don't finish until the plane lands. It's a full commitment; either you're playing or you're not. I watch a ton of movies on the plane, too. But I'm actually going to start reading books instead, I think. Some actual interesting books, not like the ones that are assigned in the curriculum at school. I'm asking around for some titles. I don't really know where to start, but I think it'd be fun to start getting through some books."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
