“In this journey there is so much to my life that I just do privately... I don't really make it a huge priority to tell every single thing that I do every single day about my life.”
“I don't pay attention to a lot of people - I pay attention to a select few, and that's worked out well for me.”
“I'm very hard on myself. I'm the first person that'll say, 'Yeah I messed up.' And then I'll try to go out and fix it.”
“That's kind of what my mindset has always been, just focus on every day, and making the most of each day.”
“It's crazy, it really is, to just be fortunate enough to continue to be in positions to win, to be playing well, to be healthy.”
“My favorite singer is Canton Jones, a gospel hip-hop artist - when I'm on the bus going to a game, I listen to him in my own little world, singing and dancing; he gets me ready to play every time.”
“I think legacies are most meaningful with the impressions that a person can leave on a group of people.”
“I loved watching Cynthia Cooper growing up when she played for the Houston Comets.”
“I play the drums, I love to sing. I'll make a beat anywhere - on the wall, on the floor - and I can have fun doing just about anything.”
“Every year the goal is a championship. That's what I expect.”
“As an Olympian, I wear that flag and I've gone all over the world. I've represented the United States, so I have a deep pride for our flag.”
“When I stepped away two springs ago, I just really wanted to shift my priorities to be able to be more available and present to show up for things that I felt were mattering more than being a professional athlete.”
“I think a winner has to be a master of preparation, they have to be a master of connection, extremely competitive and have really high standards for themselves and the people around them.”
“I want to be one of those players like Jason Kidd, who is always in tune with the game and sees several plays ahead.”
“I think if you can find competitive people, they'll make any environment that they go to winners.”
“I'm a basketball fan, I'm a fan of greatness and I think anybody who knows anything about basketball knows great shooters.”
“I never want to say that I had glory days. I like to think that every new year there's something great that can happen, something great will happen, whether it's a basketball thing or an off-the-court thing.”
“I enjoyed practices at college. That is where you really get down and dirty and really get some development and see what you have.”
“We are in a world where people are understanding that athletes and entertainers are citizens too. Some of us want to leverage our platform for good, and I want to be someone who is thoughtful and real about trying to influence people in a way that will lead to healthier communities and a better nation.”
“Culture in general wants to connect ethical issues with consumerism. And we can see that overflowing into something that is consumed so much, which is sports.”
