“I look at my jersey and see the NBA logo, I’m like, ‘I didn’t think I’d be here.’”

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.

Chemistry is important. If you like your teammates, it’s going to be easier to play with them on the court.

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

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.

I know that the hard work got me here. And the day I stop working hard, this can all go away.
