“I'm not afraid to fail - at all.”

“Rondo is great with the steals, also on offense with the passing and court vision.”

“I don't think people really take pneumonia seriously when they hear it. But people really die from pneumonia: kids, older people, even just regular-aged people. They just die from pneumonia.”

“I'm just going to try to get as many rebounds as possible.”

“I'm definitely excited about getting better.”

“It's just a reassuring feeling, a confidence-builder I guess, knowing that you're going into a situation wanted as an option, like you're really wanted.”

“I grew up in Flint, Michigan so I'm used to broken promises so I don't look forward to anything. I look forward to the now. I don't even like planning trips more than a week ahead because you don't know how you're going to feel a week from now.”

“During the season, the main focus is always basketball.”
