Kyle Lowry

“I don't want to be a guy that's just out there to be out there; I want to play and contribute.”

“Me being a veteran presence, I want to see all my guys be successful.”

“Going through rough times will only make me and my team stronger.”

“I know what I wanna be and what I don't wanna be, which is an absent parent. I wanna be hands-on.”

“I would be a very demanding coach. I wouldn't yell and scream, but I want players that want what I want. And that's why I couldn't coach, 'cause I know how hard it is and I know how hard I want you to play. But everyone's not going to do what I want.”

“Our brotherhood in the NBA is really tiny, and we really all appreciate and support and want each other happy.”

“I'm a wuss. I'm a pushover and a wuss. But it's worth it. And that's the joy of being an NBA player. Because I can go out on the court and be an animal, be a beast. I ain't a pushover. But when I go home when I'm with my family, my friends and my wife and my child, I'm just Dad and a husband.”

“I believe I had an unfair reputation. If people think I was a bad kid, I was a bad kid to them. But people close to me know I'm not.”

“Sometimes when your coach draws something up, you just kind of go with it.”

“Game 7 is what you play for. It's what you work for.”

“For me, I'm still going to shoot the halfcourt shot if I can. I don't worry about my percentages too much. It's about winning games.”

“I love my teammates and I'll go out there and play for them, and that's who I play for every night.”

“We just play, man. We go out there and we fight no matter the situation.”

“In the playoffs, all eyes are on you.”

“Bringing a championship to the city of Toronto and the country of Canada has been one the best things I've done so far in my career, and I'll push for that goal every single year I play this game.”

“Thank you to the wonderful Raptors fans across the NBA, especially in Canada! I am amazed by your passion for our team and the support you have given me.”

“I'm never satisfied.”

“I know I can shoot when I want. I know I'm going to have the ball. It's about seeing what the team needs at that time.”

“You grow up rough, you think differently. You think you've got to protect yourself at all times. I didn't want any help. I thought I could do everything by myself, which you can't.”

“I expect a lot. And, I hold my teammates accountable and they've got to hold me accountable.”
