“Playing basketball all my life, I’ve collected a lot of different basketball shoes. It’s pretty much all I wear.”

You have so much fun playing games. We all love basketball, so we never want the season to end, ’cause then it’s five months of sitting around and watching the playoffs.

I like that Brita makes tap water taste good, so you don’t need to spend money or waste plastic with bottled water.

FaceTime helps me a lot. I feel like I’m at home even though I’m not.

Your touch and your feel for the game is pretty much gone if you don’t work on it – at least get some shots up or dribble the ball.

I know what I do for my team and what my teammates expect of me on both ends of the floor.

I’ve taken countless shots in my life, so you know the ones when you’re in rhythm, with a perfect release, and it’s on track, that it’s going in.

I know the blessing of having a dad who played 16 years in the league. That experience, and seeing him as an example, let me know that it’s possible. It’s not easy, but it’s possible.

Whatever that means, however you got on that mountain, why not try to climb it? And do it in your own way.

I shoot the ball so well that sometimes you fall in love with it and think it’ll get you out of certain situations.

To be able to finish opportunities that I do get in the paint, that makes a difference.

With the NBA’s dress code, I had to revamp my wardrobe a little bit. They call it ‘business casual.’ You have to wear dress jeans or dress slacks, with a collared shirt or sweater. And you can’t wear athletic shoes.

Everybody asks if putting is like shooting free throws. It has a very similar kind of mindset. And it’s just you, the ball, and the target.

Most of the stuff I try in a game, in the moment, I have supreme confidence I’m going to execute it.

We knew sports was important to us and our family, but there are priorities in life.Obviously, faith is foremost; how we did in school is important. If we didn’t handle that business then there were no privileges.

We’re going to have to work. We’re going to have to play well. Nothing will be given to us.

I want people to understand they have to live their own lives the way they want to and not just do what we do.

All you really have that really matters are feelings. That’s what music is to me.” – Janis Joplin

You can do as many sprints as you want but there’s nothing like playing in a 90-minute soccer game. There’s no better way to gain your fitness, in my opinion, than playing in consistent games.

Playing on turf affects everything, you know, it affects the way the ball rolls, it affects the way the ball bounces, it affects the way you think about whether or not going into a slide. It’s kind of a nightmare.

Playing different characters in different films helps keep you excited about what you do. It always seems like a whole new adventure.

When you play competitive tennis you are competing against someone else and you have to win. Playing music I didn’t have to win I had to become better within myself.

The thing I learned from playing tennis is that I know what competition is. I can handle rejection.

Playing the game I have learned the meaning of humility. It has given me an understanding of futility of the human effort.

The buzz you get when you’re playing a song and everyone is screaming and dancing and what have you and singing along is incredible.
