I had a lot of negativity growing up, so I understand how to block the negativity out.

I know you can't please everybody; you can't make everybody happy, but just getting that perception that I don't care about basketball and what it brings is a lie.

You go from high school, to the NBA, and you're thrown in the fire.

I didn't need to meet with other teams. I didn't care about what offers were on the table. I wanted to be in Atlanta. I wanted to represent for this team.

I just want to show Atalanta who I really am and show my teammates what kind of teammate I am.

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

People say you don't need a father to be successful. I take offense to that.
