Nobody thought that I was going to make it to the NBA. I only had a couple of believers growing up.

The hardest thing to do is to trust people.

You don't have to be best friends as basketball players but I do believe in chemistry. I think it makes everything different if a team is really together and they're all on that same page. They might not like each other, per se, but if you're on the same page and the chemistry is there, you can play great basketball. You can go back to teams like Detroit, the Bad Boys. Those guys had great chemistry, that's why they won.

I love wearing suits. I love being suited and booted. When I'm chilling, I also like to look nice.

God says, Turn the other cheek. So there's no way I could play in a man's game.

That's my job, to motivate people. I can do more, show people more things. That's really why I play basketball. That's my whole purpose of playing basketball.

I'll joke all day, but once I get in the gym, I'm going to work hard.
