“Music has always been a big part of my life. It’s kind of like a refuge for me. I just use it to get away.”

I want to go down as a winner.

Dad, it’s been an up-and-down road for all of us, but you’ve always been there supporting from afar, texting me Bible verses every single day, telling me you love me every single day. That builds me up and I thank you so much. I love you. I’m just glad you’re part of this journey with us.

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.
