“I play basketball different than how I am off the court,” he told GQ about his seemingly hard exterior. 

Adding, “When I’m on the court, everybody thinks I’m angry and I’m mad. I’m fine with that. But that’s why I think some people are confused until they see me off the court. They’ll run into me and be like: ‘Oh, I thought you were gonna be mad.’ But why would I be mad?”

Congrats to the new parents!
