“I’m just trying to grow. That’s one thing I told myself is, ‘Don’t worry about who people say is the best player’.”

Jimmer Fredette is the best scorer in the world!!

We went from apartment to apartment by ourselves. One of the best memories I had was when we moved into our first apartment, no bed, no furniture and we just sat in the living room and just hugged each other. We thought we made it.

My dream was to become a rec league coach. I love basketball so much,

Sometimes I feel like being real and open to them, but at the same time, I know how much I can give you.

I’ve learned that it’s harder to try to put on this goody two-shoes persona when that’s not me.

This city, all they want us to be is ourselves. You love us how we are. We’re all a work in progress as men and you still love us and I thank you so much for embracing us.

It’s hard to play well, but it’s easy to work hard.

You know, I think more people should watch women’s basketball. It’d do so much for the game.

I want people to know what they didn’t know about me. I just wanted them to know the real side.

This was an extremely difficult decision as I take great pride in representing our country. I know that I owe it to my USA Basketball teammates to be totally invested in the experience. After going through training camp with USAB.

It’s all about knowing the balance, because I like to remain somewhat of a mystery. You need to have that, you know what I mean?

I feel like I can get a good feel for people.

I’m not the type of guy who’s just going to throw the ball inbounds to a guy who’s wide open. I can make the right pass.

I was always in the gym. People would look at me crazy because I spent so much time there. But that’s what it was about. I’m glad I did it.

How I grew up, everybody was telling me, “You can’t do this, you can’t get tattoos, you’ve got to look a certain way.” Now, I’m like, “Why?”

I love playing it, I just never thought I’d make it to college, NBA, or be standing up here today. It is a surreal feeling. So many people doubted me and motivated me.

In my opinion, the best fans on the planet really did put us where we are.

These ‘messengers’ will not be hindered from accomplishing at their best speed the distance which they have to go, either by snow, or rain, or heat, or by the darkness of night.

But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best.

The focus must always be on how to best accomplish the mission.

Love betters what is best.

Years of misguided teaching have resulted in the destruction of the best in our society, in our cultures and in the environment.

The best way to predict your future is to create it.

Real education should consist of drawing the goodness and the best out of our own students. What better books can there be than the book of humanity?
