As I've seen throughout the forums, many of you don't condone Danny's pick of him, so here's a good extensive read about his life, past and mentality. I got chills from reading it. Enjoy:

I think there are some who would view that background as more of a negative than a positive factor in his bid to succeed as an NBA basketball player.

He has shown every sign of that rare, obsessive, competitive trait, which is rarely seen in modern era players. He is both humbler and tenacious, both hardworking and a bit cocky. Attitude reminds me of a young Kobe.

I like his demeanor a lot as well.
