“When we're playing at home in Utah, breakfast is really the only meal at which I allow myself to be a little unhealthy. So it's usually pancakes, waffles, eggs, and bacon. I like to keep that consistent. For lunch and dinner, I will have Caesar salad.”
“It's not always going to be perfect but to have your teammates have your back through the ups and downs, it means the world.”
“When you grow up around the 1 percent, it shows you a lot as a child. I got lost in my friend's house my first time ever going to it, because it was so big. I'd never seen anything like that before in my life.”
“Zero assists. That's not who I am. That's not how I play.”
“I feel like I need to find ways to disrupt the other team and apply that pressure they might not be used to. I think being able to set that tone is something I'm priding myself on.”
“I didn't want to go see mountainous areas as a kid - I wanted to be around town, around New York, around Connecticut.”
“It's not like I'm the lead actor or anything. But it's really cool to be in a Steven Soderbergh movie.”
“I'm focusing on the day to day and all the accolades will come.”
“I was a good athlete, a good baseball player. A great baseball player, I should say.”
“If you do happen to get a scholarship or get a few offers, don't choose the school that is the biggest school. Choose the one that's right for you. Go somewhere you're needed, not where you're wanted.”
“I would love to bring the state of Utah their first championship. I think that's one thing I've always wanted.”
“Unfortunately, Caesar salad dressing is the worst for you.”
“It's easy to give back to people who are so genuine and kind.”
“I join other players in calling for all teams to take a stand. We should not be subject to hate speech or racist acts at any time, and definitely not in our arenas.”
“I know I've got a lot more to learn, so I'm just taking it game by game.”
“I couldn't shoot and I couldn't score in high school. All I could do is dunk and play defense.”
“I watch a lot of Dwyane Wade. D-Wade was in the Finals his third year and he was getting to the free-throw line 10 times a game.”
“Just being in the NBA is crazy and also after every bucket that I make or every pass it's kind of like, 'Woah, I just did that.' It's been awesome.”
“Women have to be protected more.”
