Jordan Clarkson

“I've just always felt that I've been slept on, so I'm just trying to wake people up.”

“We always laughing and joking, playing around, but, you know, when it's time to go to work, we go to work.”

“If I were to be traded, I just have to be ready to play.”

“When the Lakers sent me down to the D-League, I didn't view it as a demotion. I accepted it as a challenge. Plus, it meant playing more minutes, which meant growth.”

“I try to keep my nose down and keep grinding. I keep working and having fun.”

“It took a lot of work to go from the 'Not Top 10' to being selected for the NBA All-Rookie First Team.”

“I definitely want to stay in L.A. but kind of have an open mind.”

“I can fit into a lot of clothes. A lot of them fit my body.”

“I'm always going to be aggressive on both ends of the floor. That's where I'm going to make my mark.”

“Probably the biggest thing I can do is try to help us get wins.”

“I felt like I was one of the better point guards in the draft, maybe the best. But falling out of the first round and being selected in the second round, the number really doesn't matter where you get drafted - it's about the fit.”

“I'm just trying to help any in any opportunity I get. If that's scoring the ball, defensively, rebounding.”

“I know I'm a playmaker.”

“Two different styles of leadership. LeBron, very encouraging, bringing everybody along, and Kobe, he's testing you, seeing what you gonna give him. If he gonna get at you, he gonna scream at you, he gonna cuss, he gonna do whatever it is. He had his own way of leading guys as well. It's two different sides. I'm just blessed to see both of them.”

“Y'all know how we have dogs and stuff right? So I think it was bigger people in the world before us, and the dinosaurs was they pets.”

“I want to be here in L.A. - a place where I can call home - and leave a legacy.”

“Somebody got a tattoo of me. Kind of threw me off a little bit, but the work was amazing... It's definitely good to feel that love and support.”

“We're trying to play big time in the playoffs and do something special.”

“It's been good being able to go back to the Philippines, practice with the national team, do workouts and things.”

“I mean I always wanted to get tattoos, that's why I got them kind of fast. Because I already knew what I wanted and kind of where I wanted to put everything at, just had to wait for the right time.”
