“I shoot the ball so well that sometimes you fall in love with it and think it’ll get you out of certain situations.”

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.

You have so much fun playing games. We all love basketball, so we never want the season to end, ’cause then it’s five months of sitting around and watching the playoffs.

Because I’m fairly big, I like to use my body. So I’ll control the ball, even when there’s a player on me, and then I’ll pass.

It will always be the ball and me.

A gun is no more dangerous than a cricket bat in the hands of a madman.

I don’t need the best hairstyle or the best body. Just give me a ball at my feet and I’ll show you what I can do.

With a bat and ball in my hand. Do I need anything else? Love for the game can never end.

I just keep it simple. Watch the ball and play it on merit.

If you’ve got them by the balls, their hearts and minds will follow.

Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn’t thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I’m just happy with a ball at my feet.
