“Sometimes I do wonder what college would have been like. But I made my decision.”

Everyting negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.

The people who truly know me know what I’m like. There have been people who try to say things that aren’t fair, and I check them. And then they don’t like me because I checked them.

As far as carrying the torch for the years to come, I don’t know. I just want to be the best basketball player I can be.

I don’t have to hear that criticism, that idotic criticism anymore.

If there were camera phones back in the day, the biggest athletes in the world would have had a lot of explaining to do.

I have nothing in common with lazy people who blame others for their lack of success.

These young guys are playing checkers. I’m out there playing chess.

Dear Basketball, From the moment I started rolling my dad’s tube socks and shooting imaginary game-winning shots. I fell in love with you.

I don’t set out to make a really hot shoe, I set out to make a product that is true to where I am.

It’s not a question of if we make the playoffs; we will. And when we get there, I have no fear of anyone.

People just don’t understand how obsessed I am with winning.

When you love something, you’ll always come back to it. You’ll always keep asking questions, and finding answers.

My brain cannot process failure. It will not process failure

I can’t relate to lazy people. We don’t speak the same language. I don’t understand you. I don’t want to understand you.

I’ve been watching Messi for some time now, and his ability to decide games and keep possession of the ball is amazing.

Everybody shut up. Let us work.

Basketball is my refuge, my sanctuary. I go back to being a kid on the playground. When I get here, it’s all good.

What’s your purpose in life??? Create change, motivate and inspire others are some of mine! I just hope I continue to make y’all proud!

I wouldn’t say I’m a ball hog. I’m a shooter. I don’t necessarily hog the ball, but I put them up though. I definitely much rather shoot it than pass it. That’s just how I am.

This is an award I couldn’t have won on my own. I can’t thank these guys enough. These are my guys, these are my brothers.

Friends come and go but banners hang forever.

If nobody will help you do it alone!

I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.

I focus on one thing and one thing only – that’s trying to win as many championships as I can.
