“We all know what flopping is when we see it. The stuff that you see is where guys aren’t really getting hit at all and are just flailing around like a fish out of water.”

If you want to make history, you have to do historic things.

When you start training camp, you’re building the tools necessary to win a championship. You have to have the patience.

I was probably born a scorer, but I was made a winner. Whatever works, whatever wins championships, wins games, that’s what I do.

I don’t talk trash often, but when I do, I go for the jugular.

You want a CEO that understands they need to build a team around them that’s sharper and smarter than they are.

What people see on court is another side of me; it’s not me.

There is power in understanding the journey of others to help create your own.

There’s been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that’s simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we’ve won when I score 10.

What does perfection look like to me? Championship rings.

I feel like I just returned a 100-yard kickoff in the last two minutes of the Super Bowl to win it all, only to have my run called back by a flag on the play.

You just try to take it one day at a time, You step on the basketball floor and just play. It’s fun. I’m comfortable with it.

I’m playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition-that’s what I’ve always wanted.

Basketball is my refuge, my sanctuary. I go back to being a kid on the playground. When I get here, it’s all good.

I wouldn’t say I’m a ball hog. I’m a shooter. I don’t necessarily hog the ball, but I put them up though. I definitely much rather shoot it than pass it. That’s just how I am.

This is an award I couldn’t have won on my own. I can’t thank these guys enough. These are my guys, these are my brothers.

Friends come and go but banners hang forever.

Failure is acceptable. but not trying is a whole different ball park.

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.
