“My mom and I have always been there for each other. We had some tough times, but she was always there for me.”

I hear that word pressure all the time. There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don’t put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.

I enjoy the competition and whatever it takes throughout the competition, I will do it.

I feel confident because I’m the best player in the world. It’s that simple.

My power. My control. My freedom. Unleashed.

I don’t know how tall I am or how much I weigh. Because I don’t want anybody to know my identity. I’m like a superhero. Call me Basketball Man.

Believe in yourself, even if it mean sacrificing everything.

I like criticism. It makes you strong.

To be the best, you have to work the hardest. You have to chase what seems impossible over and over and over again, because giving up is not an option.

When you feel like you’ve reached your limit, it’s only the beginning.

Commitment is a big part of what I am and what I believe.

Trying something new. Jumping out the photo frame! 

You have to be able to accept failure to get better.

Staying POISED, PRIMED and PREPPED for whenever it’s time to punch time again.

I don’t need too much. Glamour and all that stuff don’t excite me. I’m just glad I have the game of basketball in my life.

If you ain’t wit us, We ain’t with you all.

Everyone is ready to celebrate your hard work and accomplishments.

I treated it like every day was my last day with a basketball.

Imagine doing your job at the highest level to where you’re not needed anymore.

Don’t let them drag you down by rumors just go with what you believe in.

The important thing is that your teammates have to know you’re pulling for them and you really want them to be successful.

I hear that word pressure all the time. There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don’t put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.

My parents are my backbone. Still are. They’re the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.

I enjoy the competition and whatever it takes throughout the competition, I will do it.

I feel confident because I’m the best player in the world. It’s that simple.
