“I just need to be a good teammate if I don't get looks.”
“Being a big guy, I've got to shore up the paint a lot more. It's my job.”
“I'm not gonna lie. I used to be in AOL chat rooms a lot causing trouble back when you had dial-up modems.”
“Yeah I guess I don't want to end up being one of those stories where the guy ends up spending more than he has and owes money to the IRS and stuff like that. I just want to be able to take care of my family and live modestly.”
“I don't usually like to talk about this type of stuff, but I have a huge TV. I bought it just for 'Call of Duty.'”
“I can only control what I can control. I can't control plays called for me.”
“I expect to play at an All-Star defensive level, and everything else will come.”
“I always wanted to be an NBA player, and despite what anybody said, I was going to get to that point.”
“I like Sonic and all those types of games, and Sega Genesis.”
“If you ask any referee before the game - they ask me if I have anything to say, I tell them 'I'm going straight up.' Every time. Every game. And they know that and they say I'm one of the best at it.”
“I always said in my mind I wanted to be an All-Star and show four-year guys in the NBA can be good players as opposed to just one-and-done guys. If I left after my freshman year, I wouldn't have gotten drafted, I probably couldn't deal with D-League and travel on the bus.”
“I feel a lot stronger when I back people down.”
“I was a black kid in an all-white school, so I had to deal with some of that stress and pressure.”

“When you're down 35, it's kinda hard to really show excitement on the bench.”
“Every once in a while you have to go out and treat your family and friends and stuff like that. Once every two months, I'd say, is when you do that. When you do it every weekend it gets a little excessive and the people around you start feeling like you have to do that every time you go out.”
“As long as I'm moving up and down the court pretty good, I'm happy.”
“I don't know how I look when I'm on the court to tell you the truth, I'm just focused.”
“First year in the league, I tried to block everything. And I'd foul out. I averaged the most fouls per minute.”
