You're my backbone. You're a blessing. You're a piece of my heart. You're the air I breathe. And you're the strongest person I know, and I'm so sorry for having to put you through this and having to put our family through this.

The motivation for me is just the game itself, just playing the game the right way and trying to win, compete every time I step out there on the floor. That's motivation enough for me to go out there and play well.

Pooper scooper? Yeah, I've done it a few times. Every once in a while, you have to.

I'm playing against great players, playing against the best in the world. The competition-that's what I've always wanted.

Basketball is my refuge, my sanctuary. I go back to being a kid on the playground. When I get here, it's all good.

Once you open your eyes and start looking around you, you start picking up things that are very obvious.

I wouldn’t say I’m a ball hog. I’m a shooter. I don’t necessarily hog the ball, but I put them up though. I definitely much rather shoot it than pass it. That’s just how I am.
