“My birthday, I don't really see it as a special day, to be honest. It's just another day for me.”
“I can't afford to do the highlight dunk and miss it because, if I do that, I'll be sitting right on the bench beside the coaches.”
“If the opportunity to go to the NBA is there, then I'm going to take it.”
“I try to be the most versatile player on the court. If that means being a four and posting up, I'll do that. If it means playing on the wing, I can do that too.”
“I'm just a hooper.”
“I'm a basketball player - I rely on instincts and IQ.”
“My favorite movie is 'Coach Carter' so I would definitely tell anyone who hasn't seen that to check that out.”
“I'm telling y'all Drake is that dude! Definitely listening to Quavo too!”
“I was waking up at 5 A.M. when I was 9 working. I know that I'll only have to work harder if I want to make it to where I want to be. But I'm definitely not complaining.”
“Losing is just not fun.”
“I just loved my experience at Duke that much where I wanted to stay.”
“Duke recruits the best basketball players. They don't recruit dunkers or highlight makers. They recruit good basketball players.”
“You know, my stepdad taught me growing up, you know, if the team has success then the individual things will follow.”
“The championship moments are always the best and the ones you remember.”
“Kobe meant a lot to me growing up.”
“People don't understand how hard it is to get to the NBA and that's where I want to be.”
“I'm a cool dude.”
“Growing up, I loved what Kobe did and Dirk did. My intentions are to stay with the Pelicans my whole career, but if something happens, I wouldn't leave because I hate the place. It's just the business.”
“It's just basketball, man. I think people try to make it something it's not, sometimes.”
“Personally, I've always told myself I want to stay with one team.”
