You know, I think more people should watch women's basketball. It'd do so much for the game.
I go to sleep at night, like, ’Am I gonna be alone forever?’
I'm going to be real as hell and show you who I am, because I want the kids to see who I really am and the basketball players to see who I really am, and that's all that matters to me.
I've learned that it's harder to try to put on this goody two-shoes persona when that's not me.
My style has changed and evolved mainly because I've grown to have more confidence in myself.
With a versatile player, there's no spot on the court you can't pass him the ball. You can do anything.
Everything has been such a whirlwind ever since I stepped foot in the league and everything has been like a dream, so I'm just blessed to be in this position.
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 going to show you my faults, I'm going to show you my insecurities, I'm going to be real.
I Tweeted Keri Hilson the other day and she actually wrote back! I was so excited.
If it's controversy out there, or if it's some false stories out there, I want to clear it up. That's just what I'm all about.
I don't have to be anybody I'm not.
My mother taught me to always be strong and always work hard. She's been working hard her whole life for me and my brother. I'm a lot like her in that I work hard for what I want. She taught me that.
I probably play games more than I practice.
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'm just content with myself, happy with myself.
I want to be one of the best players in the game.
I'm not trying to be like what I thought an NBA player is supposed to be growing up.
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. If he had 30 points, nine rebounds and eight assists, I can tell you exactly how he did it, what type of shots he made and who he passed to.
This city, all they want us to be is ourselves. You love us how we are. We’re all a work in progress as men and you still love us and I thank you so much for embracing us.
My mom just wants to make sure that my heart is always in whatever I do and I'm in things for the right reasons.
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 look at my jersey and see the NBA logo, I'm like, 'I didn't think I'd be here.'
I feel good doing it. It's not like guys are stripping me at half-court or I'm just losing the ball dribbling. I think I'm handling the ball pretty well, just trying to make good passes, man.
Russell... I love you. I thank you so much man. You made me better. You know, Your work ethic. I always wanted to compete with you. I always wanted to pull up into the parking lot of the practice facility, And if you beat me there, I was always upset. I always wanted to outwork you. And you set the bar. You set the tone. And thank you so much man. Thank you. You had a big piece of this MVP trophy. You're an MVP caliber player It's a blessing to play with you man.
