“My mom just wants to make sure that my heart is always in whatever I do and I’m in things for the right reasons.”

Hopefully before I’m done, I can be on an Olympic team.

I fell so many times and got back up. I been through the toughest times with my family, but I’m still standing.

Last but not least my family. My brother Tony, I love you. Thank you for beating me up when I was a kid. I always wanted to follow in your footsteps.

I don’t watch a lot of other basketball away from the gym. But I do look at LeBron’s box score. I want to see how many points, rebounds and assists he had, and how he shot from the field.

When people are used to you doing something, they want you to stay in that lane.

Me as a person, I’m not the president of the NBPA (National Basketball Players Association). I don’t even know what to say. I’m not like this perfect, buttoned-up, suit-and-tie guy.

I want to be a champion.

All this stuff is kind of surreal to me – Ididn’t think I’d be in the league or none of that. It was making it to college. That’s about it.

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.

Just because you are famous and rich doesn’t make you successful.

I loved something about the space buns and the weird neon colors. I couldn’t just wear that in real life because people would look weirdly at me, but maybe at a party or something.

I actually don’t think that I’m that much smarter than anybody else. It’s just that I frequently just seem to know what to do, and I think that’s wisdom.

I just think that it’s very helpful to have a map of your psyche, because when you have a map, you know where to go.

An America that looks away is ignoring not just the sins of the past but the sins of the present and the certain sins of the future.

I just thank God I’m still here and the main thing is to try to get closer and closer to Him as much as I can so that I can treat my friends and my family the way they should be treated.

When you paint Spring, do not paint willows, plums, peaches, or apricots – just paint Spring.

Isn’t this enough? Just this world? Just THIS?
