“I feel like I am a valuable player.”

“I read a lot of comic books and they don't mention Dwight Howard much.”

“I enjoyed playing in L.A. and being a Laker. But I couldn't be happier playing in Milwaukee. This has been an amazing situation to come into.”

“I've been lucky enough to have good coaches my whole career who just teach you the right way, teach you the fundamentals.”

“Growing up with just my mom, it went so well. It worked out so well. It was normal to me. I wasn't really looking for a father figure.”

“I've always been a DC guy, but I also like Marvel.”

“I did playwriting, creative writing, short story, novelization.”

“For Christmas our grandmother would give us this huge box every year of just art supplies, construction paper, water colors, charcoals, crayons, color pencils.”

“I'd like to be in a position to have plays run through me and share the ball, make plays. Still score, obviously, but make plays, as well.”
