“I’m just content with myself, happy with myself.”

I’m always hungry. I want to be the best.

With a versatile player, there’s no spot on the court you can’t pass him the ball. You can do anything.

I miss Seattle a lot. It was my first city that I lived in on my own. It was a great city to play for. It was unfortunate for the fans what happened, but it’s time to move on.

I will be rooting for USAB and look forward to future opportunities with them.

Some guys like to talk. What’s the problem with that?

I’m not out here to be beefing with nobody.

I’m going to be real as hell and show you who I am, because I want the kids to see who I really am and the basketball players to see who I really am, and that’s all that matters to me.

First off, I’d like to thank God for changing my life. It let me really realize what life is all about. Basketball is just a platform for me to inspire people, and I realize that.

I don’t mind talking about the game. I don’t mind talking about what we go through as players, because I want people to get a deeper look inside instead of looking at stats all the time or looking at numbers or just watching the game.

For me, as a 14-year-old aspiring to be in the NBA, I wanted to hear from players.

I’ve been second in the MVP voting three times. I came in second in the Finals. I’m tired of being second. I’m not going to settle for that. I’m done with it.

I’m not out here to be showing you I’m this perfect person.

I’m sure they’ve moved on. But in the back of my mind, I still have a thing for Seattle and always am going to remember what they’ve done for me.

I don’t have to be anybody I’m not.

I’m obviously not going to give you everything about my whole life, but as far as my personality, you see me all the time from watching the games.

The grass is not always greener on the other side. You learn to appreciate these people.

The partner that you have is supposed to make you a better person, and when you’re happy, you’re a better person.

To make manhood more noble, womanhood more beautiful, and childhood more happy and bright.

My father is my idol, so I always did everything like him. He used to work two jobs and still come home happy every night.

No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.

We tend to see God as a means through which we get things to make us happy. For most of us, He has not become our happiness.

You make me happy, even when you’re awful. I would rather be with you – even the you that you seem to think is diminished – than with anyone else in the world.

The main human problems often are that we misidentify what will make us happy; and we ask people and things to save us beyond their ability.

I need an endorphin boost. And making out in an abandoned barn with me will give you one? No, it will probably put me in an endorphin coma, and im more than happy to test the theory.
