Paul Millsap

“Um, you know, I can see myself doing a lot of other things but in my life I've always had one goal throughout my life and that was to play basketball and try to be the best that I can out here at it.”

“I'm always the go-with-the-flow sort of person anyway, so with the game moving this way or that way, I'm going to go with it.”

“Without practice, just playing games, a lot of habits kind of slip away.”

“You know people probably don't realize this but I lived in Denver for 10 years as a kid. I was familiar with the city and what it had to offer. You know like any place it's changed a lot over the years. But that familiarity hit home for me.”

“It's a privilege to be an All-Star for the second straight year.”

“I had to cut weight a few years ago, and I felt like I'll be better if I was lighter. I felt like my conditioning would be better if I eat better.”

“I believe your best preparation is to just get your rest and just go out there and continue to do what you've been doing, not to try to do anything uncharacteristic that you haven't been doing. That's my main thing.”

“You know, I'm not a selfish guy.”

“Once you are first in the East, one of the top teams in the league, you have a target on your back every night.”

“I like to get fresh air.”

“Family comes first - above basketball.”

“A lot of people judge you on your height, your wingspan, but it's really about the will and the determination that defines a person.”

“It's second nature. You just get out there and play basketball.”

“Every time I catch the ball, I'm seeing a lot of bodies. The key for me is not to force.”

“It's good to get out there and get a nice sweat.”

“As players, it's a thin line. You want to recover, but you also gotta get some practice time in.”

“I'm always going to be a leader and always try and set up a positive example day in and day out, so I can - so the young guys hopefully pick up on it.”

“My preference is to just be on the court. I just want to play no matter where that is at.”

“It's hard for me to miss out on a game.”

“I've put a lot of time and effort into my body over the years. And it pays off.”
