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

The clothes are not making me If I like it, that’s all that mattersIt’s not about the clothes. It’s about how I am as a person and how confident I am.

I don’t know what I’m going to do tomorrow. I just know for sure I’m going to keep playing basketball.

I just want to grow spiritually with the Lord. I’m keeping strong at it, just trying to make my walk with faith a little better.

I didn’t fall in love with it just because it was me playing. I fell in love with it because I’ve got guys like this – like these guys every single day that push me to be the best that I can be.

I’m not trying to have my whole life out there in the media.

I’m a basketball player. That’s what I do and what I love but that’s just not all who I am. I’m talented in a lot of different areas.

I love Oklahoma. The fans have been with me every night. What more can you ask for?

Every time I see you under the basket for a game, I feel confident. No matter how the game is going, I look at you – I say, if our owner’s behind us, we can do it all. I thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.

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’.

Every memory I had growing up was involving a basketball. I didn’t go to the prom and stuff like that. It was always basketball for me.

I would describe my style as off the wall. I like stuff that doesn’t match. I just like to stand out.

Set the goal and work all days for it, until you achieve, I want to be a champion, the best!

Through the tough times, you guys never left my side… That’s something that I really appreciate and I never want to take you guys for granted. I thank you so much for being part of my life. And not just on the basketball court, but giving me talks about growing as a man first, and a basketball player next.

Mr. Bennett, for just giving me this opportunity. I thank you for always being there for me when I need you.

I want to be one of the best players in the game.

I was the second-best player in high school. I was the second pick in the draft.

If, every day, I dare to remember that I am here on loan, that this house, this hillside, these minutes are all leased to me, not given, I will never despair.

I like the nucleus that we have. I’m excited. I want to be here as long as possible. It’s like family. I love being here.

I am very happy to be here in the NBA.

I am here; and here is nowhere in particular.

I’m like a chameleon. I adapt to my situation. It’s very slowed down here. I like it that way. I’m a guy that’s very reserved, quiet and shy myself.

My upbringing involves individuals who helped me along the way. I don’t think I would be here today without that support.

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

I want to be here for a long time, so I am going to do everything I have to do to be here. And I want to walk my daughter down the aisle and give her away to somebody some day.
