“I think every player wants to be wanted.”
“My coach, Robert Allen, helped me a lot. He had more influence on my growth as a player than anyone else.”
“I feel like I've made some good memories in San Antonio. I feel like I'm in a really good family in San Antonio. They understand me. I understand them.”
“My long arms help me as I try to become more versatile.”
“I don't like new environments. I don't like being around a lot of new people. It makes me uncomfortable.”
“I've always been a workout type guy. So if I'm feeling down or I'm not happy with something, I go to the gym and I get a shot of energy.”
“It was never about trying to make the All-Star Game. It's about being back at that high level to help a team win.”
“I miss playing basketball and the city of Portland and the Rose Garden.”
“I'm a fighter. So if you're going to doubt me or say that I can't do something, I'm going to prove to you I can do it.”
“As I get slower and older, I'm going to shoot more threes.”
“It's an offensive foul if you go into the defender's body, but if I fade and a guy runs into my leg, it's a foul.”

“I love video games. I had a Sega Genesis and a Nintendo 64 growing up, and I've had every 'NBA Live' that has ever come out.”
“I want to win a ring, get better and try to learn.”
“I think my wingspan helps me out on defense, because I can cover a little more ground and block a few more shots.”
“I'm definitely not one to prolong things and drag it out, that's not really my personality.”
