“The confidence thing has always stood out and been a staple just because not everybody's a fan of that, just because not everyone has confidence. Those who don't have confidence are probably the ones who are hating.”
“You've got to just find a way to keep going. Find a way to accept the challenge, embrace it, hope the tide turns. But all you can do is control what you can control.”
“Sometimes you have to just shut up.”
“I know we want to play fast and play in transition, but later in a game you don't want to play out of control.”
“Some aliens are disguised as humans.”
“Whatever opportunity I'm given, I need to make it work.”
“Obviously, I wanted to be in a position to have my own team, and then if it did come, how would I go about that?”
“I definitely feel like due to the circumstances growing up, I always had to find something else to work on.”
“I never went to the media and said anything about anybody else. I just shut up, take it all in and let my game do the talking. It feels a lot better. Oh, my god, it feels so good.”
“I'm always going to go out there and try my best to help us win.”
“Being a leader comes with challenges.”
“You go to high school, and I was a freshman on varsity, so I had to figure out how to conform, but I also wanted to figure out how to stand out with my play.”
“Self-belief will take you a very long way. Obviously, you mix that in with hard work and an open mindset and anything is possible.”
“As long as the people who know you, the people who are close to you, the people that you spend your time with, know who you are as a person - coaches, players, essentially - that's all that matters.”
“Being able to really flourish, expand your game and help a new team. Help lead an entire group of guys, it's a challenge that we're up for.”
“You have to love the game and want to put in the time. If you don't love it, then it becomes stressful. But it's nothing for me to want to come in and shoot, play one-on-one or watch basketball.”
