If I'd gone straight to the NBA, I don't think I would have been ready as a player or a person.

This city, all they want us to be is ourselves. You love us how we are. We’re all a work in progress as men and you still love us and I thank you so much for embracing us.

I'm tired of being second.... I'm done with it.

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

I fell so many times and got back up. I been through the toughest times with my family, but I’m still standing.

I just want to grow spiritually with the Lord. I'm keeping strong at it, just trying to make my walk with faith a little better.

Me as a person, I'm not the president of the NBPA (National Basketball Players Association). I don't even know what to say. I'm not like this perfect, buttoned-up, suit-and-tie guy.
