“A college experience is something everyone should have. Going to Waffle House late at night. Or the gym at midnight, until the wee hours of the morning. Just being kids. Hanging out.”

“Winning a championship, really - that's the main goal, so if you don't do that then you can't really say that you succeeded.”

“Really I can do everything on the court: pass, shoot, dribble, score.”

“I was really good at a young age, but every day I had to walk in the house, and walk past my dad's jersey framed on the wall because he was an Olympian, so I was like, all right, I haven't done anything yet.”

“New York, playing in the Garden, I've always been a player who likes to play with a lot of people watching.”

“The home games, that's really where you can see everything - every game is packed. No matter if it's like a game we're going to win by a lot or a close game - everybody's here. The fans cheer the same way and it's great. That's really what I can say about Duke.”

“It's New York City, you want to be shown in Times Square. you want your picture there. You want those kind of things. To inspire people, that's really what it's about.”

“John Starks is one of my favorite players.”

“Who doesn't think that they're the best? I've put in the work and time just like everybody else. So, yes, I do believe I'm the best player.”

“I just like chilling with my friends, playing 'NBA 2K' and stuff.”

“I never feel out of place. I'm never nervous or worried.”

“I actually grew up in Europe half my life. Then Canada, then the States.”

“Steve Nash is just so smart. He's one of the most down-to-earth people you'll ever meet.”

“I just see the ball and I go for it. It's wanting to make a winning play for the team and get a rebound.”

“I am a big 'try new things' kind of guy.”

“I think everybody's goal is to make the NBA. My goal is to be a star.”
