I'm always hungry. I want to be the best.
The grass is not always greener on the other side. You learn to appreciate these people.
You know, I think more people should watch women's basketball. It'd do so much for the game.
Basketball is just a platform for me to inspire people.
It's hard to play well, but it's easy to work hard.
I don’t watch a lot of other basketball away from the gym. But I do look at LeBron’s box score. I want to see how many points, rebounds and assists he had, and how he shot from the field. If he had 30 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, I can tell you exactly how he did it, what type of shots he made and who he passed to.
I know that the hard work got me here. And the day I stop working hard, this can all go away.
I've learned what it feels like to lose, believe me. But I think, in the end, that is just going to make winning that much better.
Coaching staff: I know there's days you look at that film and you want to kill me. I'm not playing defense, taking bad shots, getting too many techs. But you always believe that I can be the guy. Through the tough times, you guys never left my side... That's something that I really appreciate and I never want to take you guys for granted. I thank you so much for being part of my life. And not just on the basketball court, but giving me talks about growing as a man first, and a basketball player next.
In this league, experience means a lot.
Chemistry is important. If you like your teammates, it's going to be easier to play with them on the court.
If I'd gone straight to the NBA, I don't think I would have been ready as a player or a person.
I like the nucleus that we have. I'm excited. I want to be here as long as possible. It's like family. I love being here.
Music has always been a big part of my life. It's kind of like a refuge for me. I just use it to get away.
A big market is something that doesn't really concern me too much. It's cool to think about, it's good for off-the-court deals. But I'm more of a basketball player. That's what I want to be known as. And this is the best place for me to play basketball. I'm glad I'm here.
I want to be one of the best players in the game.
It's part of my game, getting to the free-throw line and being aggressive. If you say that I get superstar calls or I get babied by the refs, that's just taking away from how I play. That's disrespectful to me.
Every memory I have from when I was a kid involves basketball.
I wanted to the best player in the state - [the best] the area has ever seen. That's always been my goal. Guys like Elgin Baylor, Adrian Dantley and Dave Bing, it's tough to pass those guys. So I'm studying, working. My project's not over yet. Hopefully, I get there.
With a versatile player, there's no spot on the court you can't pass him the ball. You can do anything.

If I continue to just get to the playoffs every year, I guess you could say I arrived, but right now I'm just trying to find my way.
I'm like a chameleon. I adapt to my situation. It's very slowed down here. I like it that way. I'm a guy that's very reserved, quiet and shy myself.
My mother taught me to always be strong and always work hard. She's been working hard her whole life for me and my brother. I'm a lot like her in that I work hard for what I want. She taught me that.
It feels good to be a part of history.
