I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow. I just know for sure I'm going to keep playing basketball.

I’ve been second my whole life.

I'm a basketball player. That's what I do and what I love but that's just not all who I am. I'm talented in a lot of different areas.

When Russell was out, you stepped your game up for me, for the team. There were nights where you made me look way better than I am. You clean up so many of our mistakes, man, and we appreciate that. From everybody on the team, we appreciate that, man, and I thank you so much for giving me confidence when I didn't have it, for always being there when I wanted to talk to you, when I wanted to call, for arguing with me all the time, making me better, and realizing I'm not always right. Thank you, man. I appreciate you.

I've got a long way to go to being the ultimate best, but I think my time is now. And I'm starting to enter my prime.

I learned how to pass when I was real young. That's one thing I always knew how to do was find the open man.

I love Oklahoma. The fans have been with me every night. What more can you ask for?
