“I like to penetrate and play fast basketball.”

“I feel like some things, you can't just force it.”

“I started playing soccer first and then basketball. I had a leg injury when I was young and my mom said, 'come on, try to choose a different sport.'”

“I want to be in a good situation with a good organization.”

“Definitely, my whole life I've played as a point guard. I've tried to get in the paint, and I've tried to develop for others.”

“I'm like, how do you say, a little version of Tony Parker. But I must work hard to be as good as he is.”

“I'm a good defender, so I like to play defense.”

“When you get older, you cannot play the same.”

“It's a much easier job when you know what to expect on offense.”

“I would not want to be a cop.”

“I would not want to be a firefighter.”

“When you come out of pick-and-roll, it's really tough to step back and shoot because the defender is coming.”

“I always cherish my ancestors, my grandpa, great-grandpa, what they did for us, especially my dad who moved from Bosnia. He started a new life in Slovenia so basically I grew up there.”

“I watch tape of players - Chris Paul, Deron Williams, all the top players who play my same position.”

“I already said to D-Wade and Steve Nash and those guys, 'I don't know how you guys do it.' Of course, I want to be a famous basketball player, but not to that standpoint where you go out and you don't have peace. You cannot enjoy your personal life. I would rather be with my family and do what I want.”

“You need to believe you can do something big.”

“I always say I'm hurting sometimes, have a lot of injuries. But if you win a game, I feel great. But if you lose the game, those injuries, they come up. I don't know how to explain it, winning is such a unique thing.”

“Hopefully I'm going to be a good father. I'm going to try and give my best.”

“My game is to attack. If I'm aggressive, I'm at my best.”
