I know that the hard work got me here. And the day I stop working hard, this can all go away.

With everything I do, I just try to be myself.

I told Grant Hill back there – I just got done playing against him – as a second grader I had a Pistons Grant Hill jersey. That was the first time I walked into a gym. That’s when I fell in love with the game. My mom, I think she just wanted to get me and my brothers out of the house for a few hours. When I walked into the gym, I fell in love with the game.

My dream was to become a rec league coach. That's what I wanted to do. I wanted to stay home and help the kids out and be a coach.

Sometimes you have to know when to shut the f - - up.

I've been more content with just who I am.

I've just got to let my teammates know in practice, without even telling them, that I don't think I'm ahead of anybody.
