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

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.

How I grew up, everybody was telling me, “You can’t do this, you can’t get tattoos, you’ve got to look a certain way.” Now, I’m like, “Why?”

I love playing it, I just never thought I’d make it to college, NBA, or be standing up here today. It is a surreal feeling. So many people doubted me and motivated me.

I probably play games more than I practice.

Every memory I have from when I was a kid involves basketball.

So many people doubted me. They motivated me every single day, to be, who I am.

If I’d gone straight to the NBA, I don’t think I would have been ready as a player or a person.

You know, I don’t want to stand out too much.

I pray for you every night. You’ve taught me to feel confident in myself, believe in myself that I can do it when I didn’t think I could do it.

I can score the basketball, but I think I can pass pretty well or I can make the correct pass.

I’ve heard a few times, in three or four years, this league is going to be yours. I don’t like that. Because I think I’m established now.

I was just a big fan of tattoos always growing up, and I wanted something cool that symbolizes what I’ve been through in my life, and everything on my chest and my back is like a collage.

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.

I love the fans here in Australia.

It’s good to be here. At 98, it’s good to be anywhere.

Nice to be here? At my age it’s nice to be anywhere.

Why am I here? I’m not lucky. That’s God.

Something deep is touched here, something that is good and deep.

England still will be here without you.

Often for me, if I hear a song I know, it clicks for me and I hear it in a different way and I think, “I could sing that song. I’ve got something to say about that song. Wanting to connect with an audience and wanting them to rethink songs.

Just look at it. No wonder so many artists have come here and called it home. Brother.
