“I know what I do for my team and what my teammates expect of me on both ends of the floor.”

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.

I like that Brita makes tap water taste good, so you don’t need to spend money or waste plastic with bottled water.

FaceTime helps me a lot. I feel like I’m at home even though I’m not.

Your touch and your feel for the game is pretty much gone if you don’t work on it – at least get some shots up or dribble the ball.

I’ve taken countless shots in my life, so you know the ones when you’re in rhythm, with a perfect release, and it’s on track, that it’s going in.

I know the blessing of having a dad who played 16 years in the league. That experience, and seeing him as an example, let me know that it’s possible. It’s not easy, but it’s possible.

Whatever that means, however you got on that mountain, why not try to climb it? And do it in your own way.

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

To be able to finish opportunities that I do get in the paint, that makes a difference.

With the NBA’s dress code, I had to revamp my wardrobe a little bit. They call it ‘business casual.’ You have to wear dress jeans or dress slacks, with a collared shirt or sweater. And you can’t wear athletic shoes.

Everybody asks if putting is like shooting free throws. It has a very similar kind of mindset. And it’s just you, the ball, and the target.

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

We knew sports was important to us and our family, but there are priorities in life.Obviously, faith is foremost; how we did in school is important. If we didn’t handle that business then there were no privileges.

We’re going to have to work. We’re going to have to play well. Nothing will be given to us.

I want people to understand they have to live their own lives the way they want to and not just do what we do.

In my end is my beginning.

My days of whining and complaining about others have come to an end. Nothing is easier than fault finding. All it will do is discolor my personality so that none will want to associate with me. That was my old life. No more.

What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from.

Where annual elections end where slavery begins.

Of those men who have overturned the liberties of republics the greatest number have begun their career, by paying an obsequious court to the people; commencing Demagogues, and ending Tyrants.

The best thing we built together was our end.

I have spent all my life resisting the desire to end it.

This is the way the world ends not with a bang but a whimper.
