How I grew up, everybody was telling me, "You can't do this, you can't get tattoos, you've got to look a certain way." Now, I'm like, "Why?"

I want to show people who I really am, especially aspiring basketball players who want to be at this level. That's what I'm about.

I want people to know what they didn't know about me. I just wanted them to know the real side.

Chemistry is important. If you like your teammates, it's going to be easier to play with them on the court.

I ride for my guys. That's the bro code.

You hear all these stories about, 'There's one in a million guys that make it to the NBA and stay there.' To see people cheering for me and when they say my name, it's just crazy. It's still crazy to me.

I just loved being in the gym. It was tough at times. Sometimes I wanted to quit, but I'm glad I stuck with it.
