I ride for my guys. That's the bro code.
I want to be a champion.
You gotta win. That's all it takes.
I believe I'm enough, you know what I'm saying?
For me, as a 14-year-old aspiring to be in the NBA, I wanted to hear from players.
I'm not going to act like I'm this person that I'm not, because I operate bad in that space, you know what I'm saying?
It's not always like I'm right, and you're wrong. It's both ways.
I don't [know] what everybody else's motives are, I don't know what your motives are, but mine is to portray the real life of an NBA player. And it's not all about I just do everything, like I'm the hardest worker, or I love to play basketball every day, I go to the gym at eight and don't leave until five. No, that's not how it is. That's not how I am.
I'm not trying to have my whole life out there in the media.
It's all about knowing the balance, because I like to remain somewhat of a mystery. You need to have that, you know what I mean?
I know what to keep to myself. I know what I want to give up.
I miss Seattle a lot. It was my first city that I lived in on my own. It was a great city to play for. It was unfortunate for the fans what happened, but it’s time to move on. I’m sure they’ve moved on. But in the back of my mind, I still have a thing for Seattle and always am going to remember what they’ve done for me.
I feel like I can get a good feel for people.
If I'm educated and passionate about a topic, I'll answer the question. But I also know when to shut the hell up.
I want to have some stuff that I keep for myself, my friends, my family, my loved ones. That's how I view.
I've got a long way to go to being the ultimate best, but I think my time is now. And I'm starting to enter my prime.
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.
Hopefully before I'm done, I can be on an Olympic team.
Our best years are only ahead of us, so we got to continue to keep pushing.
I'm a basketball player. That's what I do and what I love but that's just not all who I am. I'm talented in a lot of different areas.
I learned how to pass when I was real young. That's one thing I always knew how to do was find the open man.
My acting coach I've got here, Richard Lawson, he's been doing good, just telling me to calm down sometimes and just be me.
If I continue to just get to the playoffs every year, I guess you could say I arrived, but right now I'm just trying to find my way.
The clothes are not making me If I like it, that's all that mattersIt's not about the clothes. It's about how I am as a person and how confident I am.
I can score the basketball, but I think I can pass pretty well or I can make the correct pass. I'm not the type of guy who's just going to throw the ball inbounds to a guy who's wide open. I can make the right pass.
