“I don't think nobody's doubting I can play basketball.”

“I was going to fight for what I wanted first, and that was being in L.A. and being a Laker. L.A. was the first place that came to my mind. That's where my heart was at.”

“Where I'm from, you're a square if you go to church or if you decide to read the Koran or Bible.”

“I have candy around my bed. I just kinda like reach over and eat it and then go back to sleep, no problem.”

“People making it like I sit there and eat a whole plate of candy before I play a basketball game. I don't think anyone could do that.”

“The young men in the inner city are without guidance, robbing and shooting each other with no remorse... Our system is crazy because we're planning to fail. Everybody needs something to grasp on to.”

“For years I've been seeing my young brothers wearing Scarface T-shirts, John Gotti T-shirts, Rick James T-shirts. We don't have any icons or idols to look up to, just rappers and professional athletes.”

“Remember when Jay-Z wore a Che Guevara T-shirt? Nobody knew who Che was. Then Jay-Z wears it, and it's everywhere.”
