  • His Dallas high school retired his No. 34 — only the second player so honored there, after Larry Johnson.
  • Oklahoma City offered him a four-year, $14.8 million sheet in 2008 and the Jazz matched it within a week.
  • Masai Ujiri introduced him in Toronto with a single line: we just signed a sniper, so we're happy.
