“I don’t like people looking at someone else’s image.”

That feeling is so intoxicating, walking off the court holding the Larry O’Brien trophy. So I just want to do that again.

I always have an optimistic view, no matter what it is.

I just feel so much more comfortable and confident every game I play.

I am not a BART regular but have taken it probably five times to and from the city with some of my teammates. Nice to just hop on the train and enjoy some of the views of the Bay Area while I’m out.

I never looked at my mantel and envisioned an MVP trophy sitting there. This is pretty crazy.

A wet spot on the floor kind of put a scare in myself, so you never know inside those lines what might happen.

It’s really annoying for me. That’s not what I’m playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron’s throne or whatever.

Honestly, I could care less about other people’s opinions about me.

I have fun out there on the court, smiling, laughing, trying to have good demeanor.

In college, a loss is pretty devastating. That feeling kind of goes away in an 82-game season. You hate to lose, but you also have a lot more games to make up for it.

Once it gets down to single-digit games, you know the season’s end is approaching, and we’re all pretty physically tired.

I’m just blessed, man, to be able to represent solidarity with the small schools I went to.

The biggest thing is just routine. I think that’s the biggest correlation between golfers and basketball players.

I try to make it look easy, but the behind-the-scenes stuff is the challenge.

I’m very active on social media and see the huge impact it has on engaging with fans and being able to have a voice.

We have a great group of guys that really sacrifice every night, care about each other, and try to play the right away.

“Global culture” is of course not a culture: it’s the global marketing and imposing of commodities and images for the interests of the few at the expense of the many.

To be in love with one of those images was worse than being in love with a ghost (perhaps we always want the person we love to have the existenceof a ghost).

By creating so many illusory images of physical perfection.

Success is the best builder of character.

What we have in us of the image of God is the love of truth and justice.

You arrive at the image through the act of painting.

Spiritual formation in Christ moves us toward a total interchange of our ideas and images for his.

We are made in the image of God; we carry within us the desire for our true life of intimacy and adventure. To say we want less than that is to lie.
