“I believe that you should put the right people around you, people that will not let anything go wrong.”

“It's easier for me to let the game just come to me.”

“At the end of the day, you want to be always the one that's one step ahead of everybody, and when it comes to hip-hop, culture and art, you want to be that signature guy.”

“Denver is home to me, and to be recognized for my achievements in the sports community here is a great honor.”

“Of course I want to take the last shot, let's be quite frank: I've been doing for nine years already, and I've made a ton of them.”

“I like having fun.”
