“Everything is a process.”
“I'm really just a dude that cooks, plays with his son and thinks about stuff in his spare time outside of dedicating about six hours or so to basketball stuff.”
“I experienced the G League in two forms: one as an assignment player, and then one of actually being in the G League after I got cut by the Bulls. Obviously, both situations are different. You actually sort of still get treated like an NBA player when you're on assignment. When you're in G League on contract, you're down there for real.”
“If I had been healthy and projected in the top 20 and then fell into the second round I'd have been hurt. But I knew that possibility was likely and I was ready.”
“I just can identify with that mentality of feeling that you should be the best, putting in the work, and then kind of being that backup or being that second guy and being like, nah, this isn't good enough for me, I'm going to be the best.”
“Steve Blake is a great vet, but when I'm sitting behind him it's just like, c'mon, guys.'”
“The NBA is a job. Just like any other job complaining about opportunity doesn't solve anything. The only thing you can do is control what you can control, and when you are at peace with the work you put in then you don't have any regrets and that's truly the main thing about this journey.”
“Nobody gets to the league and is awful. Some people are more built to be good in this than others, right, but at the end of the day, when people are like, 'Yo, you got great overnight,' I'm like, 'That doesn't really make too much sense.'”
“My brand is about self-expression and doing things authentic to me and not to make money.”
“I've pretty much been in every situation in terms of the roster... like roster spot 1-15.”
“I basically started to adopt the mentality of, I'm going to say what I'm going to say. I'm not going to apologize about it. At the very least, y'all are going to know what I'm thinking.”
“I just think in this life, you're always gonna have people telling you what you can't do.”
“You have to kind of embrace the duality of every moment.”
“The most powerful thing billionaires have isn't their voice. It's earth-shattering, continent-moving, war-starting amounts of money.”
“I am free to use my money the way I see fit.”
“The top 100 guys overseas could play in the NBA, right? But a lot of times, it's about that opportunity, about that fit.”
“I'm passionate about blockchain as a whole, decentralized finance as a whole.”
“I want Brooklyn to be a championship-caliber team.”
“I think there's a difference between internal confidence and situational confidence and understanding.”
“People may not like what I have to say - obviously, I get the sarcastic nickname of 'Siri,' because they say I know things.”
