“Everybody in the NBA is good. And then you have the really good ones and the great ones.”

I love the gym; I love basketball. I’m really passionate about it.

Directors tell me what to do, and I kind of just put my own twist to it.

My focus is basketball, and that’s it.

I went to my agent and told them, ‘I want to be on another Disney show.’

I love to listen to it; I love to sing. I wouldn’t consider myself, like, a natural singer. I just developed it over time, honestly, just listening. I’m a great listener to music.

When you’re playing against a whole bunch of All-Stars, it’s like a video game. There’s so much talent on the floor at once.

Draft day is a hectic day, especially for draftees and, more or less, for management.

I can’t even give my father a proper gift. Every single Father’s Day means so much to me. I’m so close to him. He’s my big brother, but also my father.

One thing that somebody told me is that leadership is a lonely role – some people can do it, and some people can’t.

I’m a big video game fan.

One game I’m always on is ‘NBA Jam.’ And ‘Bejeweled,’ games like that, and ‘Temple Run.’

I do have a chef, but I still go out. Sometimes I can still blend in, and sometimes I get a little bombarded. It’s the best of both worlds.

Guys like Josh Gordon need to stay in his sport and mind his own business.

All I do is sit at home and watch Netflix.

I’m probably one of the most competitive people ever.

I do feel like a Clevelander. Every time, when people ask me, I automatically say, ‘My home is Cleveland.’

Temperance in everything is requisite for happiness.

And I’ve always said, ‘If two people think the same thing about everything, one of them isn’t necessary.’ We need to be able to understand that if we’re going to make real progress.

Read, read read. Read everything.

We have been told to ask about everything: Will it leave us free?

There are those who argue that everything breaks even in this old dump of a world of ours.

Everything you say and do is having an impact on others.

I am Syrian, I was made in Syria, I have to live in Syria and die in Syria.

We pretend that everything that has happened happened long ago, and then we act as if we all now just treat each other equally, everything will be fine.
