“You have to wear what feels good on you, what you feel comfortable in. And I’ve just learned to not really care.”

I’ve decided to listen to my doctors and get the procedure I need on my knee. USA Basketball said I had to do what was best for me. They want me to be obviously as healthy as possible so I can continue to play this game at a high level.

Yeah, at first people were talking about me. But now everyone is wearing their clothes more fitted.

I’m happy that I can focus on my body a little bit. I’m not happy to get surgery, but I’m happy that I can focus on getting better.

I am very happy to be here in the NBA.

Any time the ball goes through the basket, and it’s going through consistently, it’s demoralizing for any opponent.

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

I’m an athlete, so I can dress down with the best of them. I can throw on t-shirts and sweats with the best of them.

Most days I am in public. If I go to the store, with social media, I’m in public. It might as well be a press conference.

I think people have had the understanding for many years that whatever happens with the separation of parents, that the kids automatically go to the mother. The fathers don’t know their rights.

I’m scared of needles.

Guys who might not be superstars but because of their hustle, because of the little things they do, these are the guys who can really mean the difference between winning and losing.

I’m a playmaker, and I’m going to score. At the end of the day, my job is to put the ball in the basket.

Whenever there is a big game and people don’t think I can do it, I always play my hardest, and now it has become a part of me.

To wear a gray tweed suit, you have to be mature and confident in yourself. Some people can’t pull it off.

Players are ready to play, We’re not on strike. It’s a lockout.

Growing up, I always dreamed of winning an NBA championship, never a gold. A gold was something that never crossed my mind.

I’d rather be by myself than be spending any time or energy on somebody that I didn’t feel sure about.

I’ve worked countless hours in the gym, so I feel like I’m already prepared for the game.

As I travel through my country, people often ask me how it feels to have been imprisoned in my home -first for six years, then for 19 months.

I remember like it was yesterday. He had worked all those years to own that house and he cried. He was so excited and so happy and I want to see other people get that feeling, too.

If you have work to do, don’t wait to feel like it; set to work and you will feel like it.

When I look back upon the girl I was I hate myself. But I never had a chance. I’m going to bring up my daughter so that she’s free and can stand on her own feet.

People really feel like music is free but will pay $6 for water. You can drink water free out of the tap, and it’s good water. But they’re OK paying for it.

I know what it’s like to feel that fear and the need of affirmation and appreciation. To build confidence in yourself is the toughest thing.
