“You know that social media can be a harsh thing, man.”

“Personally, it doesn't matter to me if I had the worst career stats in N.B.A. history as long as I got my 'ships. The 'ships, it shuts everything up.”

“I lived across the street from my elementary school, and in the schoolyard we could always go play there and know we were safe.”

“A shooter takes shots, a shotter makes shots.”

“I already accepted that I can't jump no more. I'm not as fast as I used to be. I accepted that already. That's where you become more smart, make that first step or two before that quick player can get there. I gotta make this jump shot, so I'll give a pump fake because I know that he can jump higher than me.”
