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

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.

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

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

Last, I just want to thank God again. He's the first and the last. Alpha and Omega. I thank you for saving my life.

We're talking too much about what goes on in the stands, nothing about what goes on on the court.

This was an extremely difficult decision as I take great pride in representing our country. I know that I owe it to my USA Basketball teammates to be totally invested in the experience. After going through training camp with USAB, I realized I could not fulfill my responsibilities to the team from both a time and energy standpoint. I need to take a step back and take some time away, both mentally and physically in order to prepare for the upcoming NBA season. I will be rooting for USAB and look forward to future opportunities with them.
