I lost all feeling a long time ago. Basketball is basketball. It doesn't matter what floor I'm on.

When you're in that zone there's nothing really the defense can do ... It doesn't matter who's sticking you because everything looks good.

When something drastic happens in our life, one person goes and hides and doesn't want to be seen. That's what I did. [Others] want to stand up and fight and think they're tough. Like if someone gets shot, you're either scared of guns or you think you're Superman. In my situation, I wanted to hide. I didn't want to be seen anymore.

You have to do everything to help your team out. I have the ability to rebound, so I might as well go and do it to help my team win.

I want to be the best in whatever I do.

They gave high fives to all the players who say like the most obvious textbook answers in the world. It's like after each game, you already know what they're going to say. If they lost: "Ahh ... Tough loss." It's like, come on, how do you guys fall for that? And if they something that they really feel, everyone goes crazy. Like "Oohh! He's spazzing out!" Now he gotta say sorry for saying something he really felt. It's like, Oh lord.

My swag was phenomenal.
