I want to be one of the best players in the game.

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.

If I'm educated and passionate about a topic, I'll answer the question. But I also know when to shut the hell up.

I wanted to the best player in the state - [the best] the area has ever seen. That's always been my goal. Guys like Elgin Baylor, Adrian Dantley and Dave Bing, it's tough to pass those guys. So I'm studying, working. My project's not over yet. Hopefully, I get there.

I’ve been second my whole life.

Whoever want my spot can play me one-on-one for it.

Nick, You know, The first guy I met when I first got to Seattle, As an eighteen year old, You took me in. You believed in me from the beginning. You knew that I had potential. And every single day I know I could look at you And know that you respect me As a man, As a player, And you gonna ride with me to the end. I thank you.
