I'm a big competitor.
I want people to know what they didn't know about me. I just wanted them to know the real side.
The grass is not always greener on the other side. You learn to appreciate these people.
I want to show people who I really am, especially aspiring basketball players who want to be at this level. That's what I'm about.
I like to sit on things and digest them and then I'll figure out my next move, but I never said I was right for doing anything.
Sometimes you have to know when to shut the f - - up.
I always want to win because I never want to sit out on the sidelines outside.
If I come to work every day and do my job, work as hard as I can, be a great teammate, the rest of that stuff will take care of itself.
I'm obviously not going to give you everything about my whole life, but as far as my personality, you see me all the time from watching the games.
I didn’t fall in love with it just because it was me playing. I fell in love with it because I’ve got guys like this – like these guys every single day that push me to be the best that I can be.
I'm busy working on every aspect of my game - defense, shooting, rebounding - but I really want to become a better overall team player. Help my teammates become better players out on the court in order to win more ball games.
With everything I do, I just try to be myself.
I've been more content with just who I am.
Experience is the best teacher. I've been through a lot - going to the Olympics, going to the Finals, having a lot of good games and having a lot of bad games. It's a rollercoaster ride and I'm just happy I'm a part of it. If it was easy, then everybody could do it.
Every memory I have from when I was a kid involves basketball.
I'm not this tough guy, I'm not this super hard person.
It's easier for me if I'm just open and transparent to a point.
Last, I just want to thank God again. He's the first and the last. Alpha and Omega. I thank you for saving my life.
I just want to grow spiritually with the Lord.
Work harder than your opponent.
You can't speak openly about everything.
I know when somebody is trying to get something out of me for clicks. And sometimes I feel like giving it to them. Sometimes I feel like being real and open to them, but at the same time, I know how much I can give you.
There's a lot of falses - out there and if I take up for myself, it's a bad thing. Sometimes you just got to live with it, but for the most part, I'm like look, I don't want no problems with nobody.
You sacrificed for us - you're the real MVP.
I don't mind talking about the game. I don't mind talking about what we go through as players, because I want people to get a deeper look inside instead of looking at stats all the time or looking at numbers or just watching the game. I want them to get a pulse on us as players, and a lot of players might not want that, but that's what I want.
