“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 want to have some stuff that I keep for myself, my friends, my family, my loved ones. That’s how I view.

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.

Jimmer Fredette is the best scorer in the world!!

We went from apartment to apartment by ourselves. One of the best memories I had was when we moved into our first apartment, no bed, no furniture and we just sat in the living room and just hugged each other. We thought we made it.

My dream was to become a rec league coach. I love basketball so much,

Sometimes I feel like being real and open to them, but at the same time, I know how much I can give you.

I’ve learned that it’s harder to try to put on this goody two-shoes persona when that’s not me.

This city, all they want us to be is ourselves. You love us how we are. We’re all a work in progress as men and you still love us and I thank you so much for embracing us.

It’s hard to play well, but it’s easy to work hard.

You know, I think more people should watch women’s basketball. It’d do so much for the game.

I want people to know what they didn’t know about me. I just wanted them to know the real side.

This was an extremely difficult decision as I take great pride in representing our country. I know that I owe it to my USA Basketball teammates to be totally invested in the experience. After going through training camp with USAB.

It’s all about knowing the balance, because I like to remain somewhat of a mystery. You need to have that, you know what I mean?

I feel like I can get a good feel for people.

I’m not the type of guy who’s just going to throw the ball inbounds to a guy who’s wide open. I can make the right pass.

I was always in the gym. People would look at me crazy because I spent so much time there. But that’s what it was about. I’m glad I did it.

Be who you like as long as you mean it.

Be hard on yourself, easy on others.

All due respect and trying to be as modest as I can be,

[Julie Marie Pacino]is a great ballplayer, which I wanted to be. She did make four films by the time she was 14 but we’re not going to talk about that.

There are a lot of roles in Shakespeare, basically. If I feel that the script is a movie, I would be interested in doing any role of Shakespeare’s.

My primary responsibility is to be funny.

I refuse to be silenced.

But adult love means you’re not in denial, and you want the loved one to be the best they can be.
