“Any time you make a basketball team you have the opportunity to be successful.”
“If you look at the history of the NBA, guys that came out of high school are the guys that held the NBA together. You look a Kobe Bryant, you look at a LeBron, these are household names.”
“When people treat you well, you just want to transfer it back over.”
“I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. Big time blues and music city. It's always been in my bloodline.”
“I'm kind of arrogant and cocky when I play... It's kind of weird. It's like I have split personalities.”
“I'm not going to be the guy that says, 'I'm the new point guard, look at me, look at me, put me on billboards and sell my jersey.' I'm not going to be him. I'm going to do my job.”
“I always have these debates with my friends, I was like 'can you imagine dropping LeBron in '75?' and I was like 'bro he'd win 15 championships in a row.'”
“I want to be successful. I want to be able to win.”
“Kobe Bryant is a walking stat himself. He doesn't have to explain what he brings to the table.”
“Sometimes I just think we get caught up in the entertainment aspect of this business and people kind of forget that this is the way we feed our families and this is our livelihoods.”
“I think as competitors, that's why we get into this, to gain respect from the guys who have played the game, and you walk away and they say, 'He was a tough cover - that dude was nice.'”
“Some guys like to eat two or three different times a day before the game. I eat once, and that's it.”
“I always said if I had a son, I was going to give him a unique name.”
“I've always been a guy that's just prided myself on making plays.”
“I don't like idle time.”
“A guy tried to rob me but decided not to because of whatever I do in the community. He's a Lou Williams fan, so he didn't rob me.”
“I wouldn't call myself a real point guard.”
“As I get older I'm seeing the game clearer.”
“You have all the ambition of winning a championship and competing in your hometown. For me, it didn't work out that way.”
“I'm not a flopper. I hate when people say I'm a flopper. I don't flop. You never see me flying all over the floor. None of that. I barely fall down in games.”
