“I love 'The Walking Dead.' Steven Yeun who plays Glenn, is from Michigan and is a really close friend of mine as well.”

“If I'm contested, I'm not going to shoot the pull-up 3. But if I'm wide open and someone backs up off me, I'm gonna shoot it.”

“Every season, I've adjusted. My first couple of years it was still banging in the post and doing all the nitty gritty stuff. Over the years, it's changed to bigs being able to shoot and run the floor and be more agile, which is good for me because I'm a very agile guy.”

“I can't be compared to anybody else.”

“It looks cool if you're averaging 20 and 20, but if you're losing games, it's not the same feeling.”

“I do all the dirty work: play defense, grab rebounds, block shots and finish strong around the rim.”

“It's a crazy feeling you know, being a young kid from New York, seeing everybody talk about Jordan, everybody wearing Jordan. Then to being up close and personal with him, eating dinner with him, and to be a part of his family.”

“My music is a little bit of everything - R&B, hip-hop, EDM.”

“I've been working on my footwork a lot.”

“I just want to play as hard as I can.”

“Community involvement is second nature to me. I've been doing it since high school.”

“You see, some kids, the college coaches are calling them at all hours of the night, saying the same thing over and over again.”

“Obviously, with me being a DJ, I have a love for music. One day I was like, 'OK. I'm tired of playing everybody else's music. I rather play my music.' So, that's kind of how the whole me doing music thing started.”

“Growing up it was always a dream. I just always thought as long as I worked hard that someone would take a look at me and know I could play in the NBA.”

“I'm a shotblocker and I want to get everything.”

“I don't worry about what the critics say.”

“Everybody knows the struggles I went through coming into my career with the free throws and how much work I put into it, how many people made fun of me for not being able to stay in games, this and that.”

“I'm all about saving money.”

“Being a Jordan athlete has been outstanding for me.”

“My athleticism will go away some day. I'm gonna be old one of these days, so I'm going to be able to use those post moves.”
