Question:

Since your on the road a lot…What’s your favorite thing to do when you stay at hotels??

Answer:

Not a whole lot to do at the hotels we stay at. I am prone to cabin fever so I like to get out of the hotel and walk around the cities a lot. My favorite cities to walk around are San Francisco, New York, Charlotte, and Birmingham, Michigan (we stay in Birmingham when we play Detroit).

Question:

How important do you feel homecourt advantage is in basketball? Teams always seem to have much better records at home, so I am curious just what it is about playing at home gives you such an advantage. Thanks JJ!

Answer:

Home court is very important and teams generally do play better at home than on the road. The reasons are pretty simple- the home crowd, the familiarity of the arena, sleeping in your own bed the night before the game, napping in your own bed the day of the game, eating schedules are easier to stick to at home. I’m not going to lie- it’s tough being on the road. And winning on the road is tough in this league.

Question:

Sort of a random question here, but what the heck. What kind of hair product do you use to keep your hair in place all game?

Answer:

Very funny question. And it’s a question that people ask me all the time. The truth is I use very little product but instead rely on a simple, yet effective procedure. I take a little bit of stick wax and rub it on my palms and fingers. I run my hands thru my a few times then take a towel (this is the key) and rub the towel over my hair for two or three seconds. The towel leaves my hair in a messy “fro” but it gives me something to work with. Then I style my hair accordingly. All in all the process takes 30 seconds to a minute.
