“Most of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I’m going to execute it.”

There’s a reason that I have confidence out there, and it’s about how I prepare for games and for series and seasons and whatnot, so we’ve got to stick with that kind of thought process.

I think about the milestones from my childhood and what it will be like to watch our kids go through them. Taking Riley to her first day of school was a whirlwind. I can’t imagine what middle school is going to be like, and high school, and graduation.

The way I try to represent my family and coaches, I think all are characteristics the league aspires to portray. That’s just who I am.

Some of the stuff I do on the court is what most people think they can do.

Water is my drink.

You know, I’m trying to chase rings, and that’s all I’m about. So that’s where the conversation stops for me.

I have allergies, and I’ve had my share of nosebleeds, but that’s usually related to pollen.

Most home teams have chapels, so when I’m on the road I’ll probably go to their services.

Drinking water is essential to a healthy lifestyle.

I have certain guys who I looked up to. Jordan, Kobe, those guys. Passing that on to doing my part to kind of keep that influence of basketball where it should be is kind of why I play the game.

I can’t jump the highest. I’m obviously not the biggest, not the strongest.

When I step forward on the floor, I have the confidence that I’m the best player playing that night and that I am the most prepared at what I need to be doing.

I expected to be a pretty good NBA point guard and hopefully win a championship. But MVP and all this stuff? Not really.

For me, I don’t want to cheat the game by saying, or kind of doing lip service by saying, I want to be the greatest ever. I want to be able to show it.

I’ve been blessed in that regard through and through. So I’m just thankful for this opportunity to play the game that I love and share that with the world.

I am pretty chill before games. Have a go-to routine that keeps me busy until we are ready to take the court so I’m not just sitting around anxious for the game.

The executioner is, I believe, very expert; and my neck is very slender.

That is fine benevolence, finely executed, which, like the Nile, comes from hidden sources.

Your purpose is why you you’re living, your vision is how you’re going to execute it.

Today was about execution, period. Every single player, all of us in the dressing room right now, we’re embarrassed because that’s not the way we want to play soccer.

Deliberate before you begin; but, having carefully done so, execute with vigour.

It is not difficult to know a thing; what is difficult is to know how to use what you know.

The painter is, as to the execution of his work, a mechanic; but as to his conception and spirit and design he is hardly below even the poet.

There are really three parts to the creative process. First there is inspiration, then there is the execution, and finally there is the release.
