“My whole life, I've felt like I can do anything on the basketball court, from playing point guard in high school to having to play center one year in high school, doing everything in college and going through different roles in Philadelphia.”
“I'm just a golf enthusiast where I enjoy the game so much, and I'm excited.”
“When you go out there, you're not just representing your country or the NBA: you're representing your beliefs. You want to play hard for Someone who died for you.”

“I try to get through a book every two weeks.”
“My game has really picked up in the NBA.”
“That's the number one thing for a guy for a new coach coming in. You've really got to buy into the system and believe it's going to work because, if you don't, it's going to cause conflict, and you're not always going to be on the same page as the other guys on the team or with the coach.”
“Math was my favorite subject, so numbers were always running through my mind.”
