“I always had confidence in myself shooting.”

“I'm always trying to block shots.”

“No question, I love being a Net.”

“With the rotations, a lot of them they're not fancy plays.”

“I'll always be a Disneyland guy. I grew up going there, it's the original, but I love Disney World, I come out here all the time.”

“A lot of times in my career, I've been the end point, the termination point of a lot of plays, just scoring the ball.”

“Return of the Jedi' has always been favorite. It almost goes backwards for me. 'Return of the Jedi,' then 'Empire,' then 'Star Wars.'”

“I try and improve each and every game.”

“I like adding stuff to my game, I want to be as complete a player as possible. So I want to be able to do a bit of everything and be good, or great at everything.”

“When I was really little, we used to play Sega Genesis, and my older brother would play 'Sonic The Hedgehog 2,' and he'd be playing as Sonic, but he'd leave an unplugged controller for me to play with, and the whole time I thought I was playing as Tails.”

“I think every year I say the same thing: I want to win, regardless.”

“I want to be a Net for my entire career.”

“I always pride myself on being an inside and outside player and pride myself on what I can do inside the paint.”

“My mom was a swimmer growing up. She was World Class.”

“Just to be a part of that Laker tradition is really a dream come true.”

“I love drawing. It's a passion of mine, and I'm a creative person. I always have my sketch book with me.”

“Sometimes guys miss calls. That's the way it is.”

“I've always tried to have fun when I go out and play basketball.”

“I love you, C-3PO. I love the original trilogy. But when R2-D2 runs away in the first 'Star Wars,' instead of stopping him or going to tell Luke and Uncle Owen, he hides. It's so good. He hides! He has to wait for Luke to come and tell him R2-D2 ran away. What a dork!”

“You have to go in with a mindset, just if you're open you're going to shoot your shot.”
