If I don't believe it, then they don't need me on the court. I've just got to believe that in my heart.

I owe all of this to the guys I've played with and all the coaches that have helped me get to where I'm at right now. I'm honored to be here.

I remember playing in a tournament when at home we didn't have light, because my mom spent her last money on my sneakers.

Only the strong survive.

I never took the game for granted as far as not having to work on what I needed to do to accomplish all of the things that I wanted to accomplish.

My whole thing was, just being me. Now, you look around the NBA and all of them have tattoos, guys wearing cornrows. Now you see the police officers with the cornrows. I took a beating for those types of things.

God chose Memphis as the place that I will continue my career.
