Everyone talks about success, but what happens before? There's always something you have to overcome.

People in general misunderstand me. I'm very aware of the stereotype that comes with being a basketball player. But I'm well-rounded. I'm cultured. It's funny: When I speak, people are like, "Wow! You can really talk." I'm like, "What did you expect?"

It's all about concentration and repetition. That's all it is.

I want to hold onto that because I think every kid when they dream about playing basketball, they don't dream about being a role player. They dream about being the man. I have that position in Toronto and to give that up and go somewhere else to be an addition would kinda defeat the purpose of my dreams.

I had a turnover and three missed shots down the stretch. I just have to make sure I calm my nerves.

I'm real conscious about money still. That's how I came up and you can't shake that.

If you don't see anything wrong with your game, you need to wake up.
