“When I came out of high school, I was a little kid. I didn't understand the business.”
“Most of my career, I've always kind of been off the bench, so, for me, it's not about if I start or not.”
“I'm always animated; I'm always kind of crunk.”
“I've seen young guys break down in those situations. They're cruising along, playing great, then their minutes get funky and they fall apart. Some of them never recover.”
“Even before I made my high school team, I'd say I want to be a NBA player, and people laughed at me with, 'Get out of here, you ain't going to be a NBA player. You don't even play basketball.'”
“Scoring is easy for me.”
“Don't get me wrong - any team in the league, I'm blessed to be on. But to be the team that you dreamed about as a little kid, it's just that much more special.”
“No team wanted me. No overseas team. Not even a D-League team.”
“My Rottweiler really don't talk much. He just bites.”

“I'm just so happy to be able to wear Celtics green again.”

“I was able to take some time off with my family, my friends, get a better look at what I can do to be a better player on the court. It's been a good little process for me.”
“You know the famous quote, sometimes you have to be ready so you don't have to get ready. I do a lot of things that, it's like, off the camera, that a lot of people don't see me do.”
