“It's always like in college, AAU and in the NBA, you always look out for your Canadians to see how they're doing. It's kind of like a competitive thing as well. You see someone go off for 20 you say 'oh I want to get 20.' It helps the culture build up into a better basketball country.”
“Being injured humbled me. It made me watch the game more. It made me realize while the season was winding down that I've got to be professional and this game is not always going to be here, and I've got to be real humble and not take it for granted.”
“I'm going to keep playing my game and get better and better each and every day and as long as my career goes.”
“I don't have the longest arms, I'm not the fastest guy and I'm not the strongest guy.”

“I always wanted someone looking up to me and trying to understand where I'm coming from as a leader. I'm ready for that. I'm going to try to lead by example.”
“I guess that's my persona, 'The Villain.' It's just on the court. But you know I'm a loving, caring guy, who loves my kids, loves my family, loves my teammates. I just love the world as well.”
“The passion and the relentlessness I have for the game is what keeps me going. It's what makes me play so hard and that's why I play with an edge, that's why my teammates play with an edge.”
“At Oregon, if you watched us play, we played a lot of zone. And I wasn't really a defender at all - I just wanted to score.”
