Every memory I had growing up was involving a basketball. I didn't go to the prom and stuff like that. It was always basketball for me.

I go to sleep at night, like, ’Am I gonna be alone forever?’

Perk, from the minute you got here... I hated you before you got here... But the moment you got here, man, you just changed my whole perception of you. Just one of the best teammates I ever had. I just thank you so much. The late night calls after tough games, you texting me, telling me I'm the MVP. That means a lot to me, man. Thank you.

I was always in the gym. People would look at me crazy because I spent so much time there. But that's what it was about. I'm glad I did it.

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.

Coaching staff: I know there's days you look at that film and you want to kill me. I'm not playing defense, taking bad shots, getting too many techs. But you always believe that I can be the guy. Through the tough times, you guys never left my side... That's something that I really appreciate and I never want to take you guys for granted. I thank you so much for being part of my life. And not just on the basketball court, but giving me talks about growing as a man first, and a basketball player next.

Every memory I have from when I was a kid involves basketball.
