“The first time I stepped on an NBA court I became a businessman.”

Being the only man in the household with my mom definitely helped me grow up fast.

Once you become a professional athlete or once you do anything well, then you’re automatically a role model.

Meet me at the top floor cause I can’t get there anymore they say. Not a good decision to listen to what “THEY” say.

I have no problem being a role model, I love it. I have kids looking up to me and hopefully I inspire these kids to do good things.

Crazy. Karma is a b****. Gets you every time. Its not good to wish bad on anybody. God sees everything!

My responsibility is to lead youth, no matter what the circumstances are.

Create your own lane so you can do whatever speed limit you wish to go!

If you ain’t putting the people around you on and giving them the strength, confidence, courage, beliefs, and love to be GREAT then what you here for!

I need music. It’s like my heartbeat, so to speak. It keeps me going no matter what’s going on – bad games, press, whatever!

As athletes, it’s no longer just about being the strongest, fastest, toughest, it’s so so so important to take that time for your mind and mental well-being.

I’m a guy who tries to be successful in all that I do, and when you fall short, it hurts.

I’m going to use all my tools, my God-given ability, and make the best life I can with it.

She controls the music when she rides with me.

I’m not afraid of nothing, I just like the challenge, and I love being here.

Some things never change!

Don’t let them drag you down by rumors just go with what you believe in.

The important thing is that your teammates have to know you’re pulling for them and you really want them to be successful.

I hear that word pressure all the time. There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don’t put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.

My parents are my backbone. Still are. They’re the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.

I enjoy the competition and whatever it takes throughout the competition, I will do it.

I feel confident because I’m the best player in the world. It’s that simple.

Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.

I don’t know how tall I am or how much I weigh. Because I don’t want anybody to know my identity. I’m like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man.
