As a matter of fact, he even has the skills to cut your hair.

Growing up in a household where mastering sports, academics and other activities were stressed, Graham brings new meaning to the phrase "well-rounded."

Graham still takes to heart a saying his father often recited: “If a task is once begun, don’t leave it until it’s done. Whether great or small, do it well or not at all.”

His father, a Navy pilot, required his sons to master an activity before moving on to something else.

“He always gave us good advice,” Graham said. “Every time we started a sport, he expected us to finish and continue it out. That was his passion.”

His father’s military mindset also translated into a disciplined household.

“He was very strict,” Graham said. “We had to wake up at a certain time. We were very disciplined.”

Those habits stuck.

“I don’t believe in being late and I’m strict about having things in order,” he said.

That wasn’t the only thing that rubbed off. Both Stephen and his fraternal twin, Joey, picked up a passion for flying from the elder Graham.

“He would take us around flying when we were younger,” Graham said. "Those are passions we still share … flying and playing basketball.”

Older brother Brian also was a role model.

“We did everything he did growing up," Graham said.

Graham, who earned his pilot’s license at age 20, tries to indulge his love for flying several times a week during the offseason. While at Oklahoma State, he majored in aviation management and aviation science.

However, when he’s not flying for the sport of it, he prefers to keep his feet comfortably on the ground.

“I’m more of a homebody ," he said. "I’d rather go home, relax and watch movies."

He likes it even more when the home is that of his parents in Land O’Lakes, Fla., where he can savor his mother’s homemade meals — especially any type of pasta.

“I guess you could say I’m a mama's boy,” he said with a laugh. “I just like hanging out with them. My mother cooks a lot and my Dad loves it when we come around.”

He also enjoys spending time with Joey, who plays for the Toronto Raptors.

“We talk pretty much every day, texting each other," he said. "We’re still like best friends. It was fun growing up with a twin. It was like having a shadow. We did everything together growing up.”

The two weren’t above playing typical twins tricks. In one case, Stephen stood in on a date with Joey’s girlfriend, and the brothers sometimes would trade off and go to each other’s classes.

“People would always get us confused,” he said with a laugh.
