“Faith and hard work have been my mirror.”
“I put myself in debt to get to the NBA.”
“I like to bump people, to feel me getting into somebody's jersey. I'm just different. I like contact, like physical play, like pushing and holding. But I'm not dirty.”
“Me and J-Lin are really good friends.”
“I can't turn my aggression off and I can't turn it on; it's just instilled in me and that's how I play.”
“If that's my job to lead and if that's my job to go out there and play defense, take charges, dive into the stands, then that's what I'm going to do if that's what it takes to win basketball games.”
“I have the type of passion that I don't think a lot of people have.”
“I'll never forget where I come from. Especially my humble beginnings.”
“You get rid of the mistakes by playing hard.”
“Basketball players want to be comfortable, they want to be lackadaisical, they want to make the right passes and take the right shots.”
“I come from very humble beginnings.”
“No matter how much I make or what I get, I still think that I gotta go out there and prove something. That's going to be my mentality and that's my motivation.”
“So what if you have two points? As long as we win, what does it matter? What if you don't have no points?”
“Being a point guard in this league, you have to balance out people - the emotions and stuff like that.”
“Women lie, men lie, numbers don't.”
“The city of Houston's been great to me.”
“You know me, I'm not big into the numbers. I just like to go out there and have fun and have a ton of energy.”
“You don't ever salute losing - ever.”
“I can't let myself down. I can't let my hood down, my area down.”
“They really allow you to play overseas. They let you play through everything - holding, grabbing, illegal screens, tough hand-checking and tough defense. Playing overseas for five years, that's all I knew. When I got to the Rockets, I brought that same mindset.”
