Not a lot of teams take you into consideration, like a lot of teams can easily decide to if you're hurt or anything, make you go play.

I'd be a race car driver. I love fast cars.

When you find your niche, you just gotta continue to be confident and thrive in it.

I really didn't get to experience college. I enjoyed Ohio State, but I didn't feel like I had a chance to live the college life. When some guys got bored, they went out partying or to the student center. When I got bored, I went to the gym.

The older you get, the more you start to understand your body, so I try to just focus on my body every summer.

The coaches that I've had, my teammates that I've met throughout this journey, it's something that you can't take away. It almost feels like a degree. You can't take that away from somebody.

The league has changed in so many ways. There are no point guards anymore, there are no centers anymore; it's all positionless basketball.

I know my work ethic and know what I've put in to get where I'm at.

L.A. has so much to offer. So I want to take advantage of it.

It's hard to keep a positive attitude coming to work every day, feeling like you're getting better when the same result is losing.

The Lakers fanbase is enormous. Getting the fans on our side is a huge advantage for us.

I'll let my game speak for itself.

Like, if you get close enough to me you'll see how I really am.

As far as coming out on top with the right mentality and it molding you into the best human being you can be, I think that's what Brooklyn did for me. I became an All-Star, I got to touch the playoffs. To get a piece of that, I'm forever thankful.

It's hard to be so mentally competitive and when you're not competing you try to turn it off but it doesn't work like that. I don't think you can just turn it off, I think you still find ways to be competitive - if it's playing a video game, if it's playing cards.

I'm a dog lover - I've had them since I was younger.

It can be easy to just be a professional half the time, and you may see half the results, but when you're consistent, you can see your full results and you can pan out to be who you want to be year by year.

I hired a full-time chef, so I wasn't taking that time to order pizzas or eat Wild Wings or stuff like that. I travel somewhere, I'm gone for a long period, I have a chef. I think that elevated my game.

I'm part-time vegan. I try to be vegan when I can. But I dip and dive in everywhere.

I wing my style. I think it's definitely something on how you feel, the weather, that plays a part.

If you have your own taste, you know what looks right and what looks good on you versus someone kind of telling you what looks good on you.

Yeah, I consider myself an unpredictable player. A player that's flashy here and there and then is maybe conservative here and there and I think when it comes to dressing, it's me figuring out that balance of when to be flashy or when to be super simple with maybe flashy shoes.

You look good. You play good. That's a true statement.

I want to be me - and people know it's me. I don't want: 'He's trying to act like Kobe' or 'His answers are like something Kobe would've said.' Nah. If it's me, I'm going to say it.

I always had the confidence. The platform, guys getting injured and giving me multiple opportunities, that has allowed me to showcase it.

It's always good to be a trendsetter.

I wasn't really a fashionable guy in high school.

It's hard to come off the bench and be ready all the time.

I can't be funny, goofy, happy go lucky all the time.

There's a lot of spoiled Lakers fans.

I want to learn how to stick around this league. I don't think there's a cheat code to it. But the sooner you find it out, the better you'll be.

If I miss 20 in a row and coach tells me to keep shooting, that's what I'm going to do.

Everyone in the league has a journey or a legacy, whether you're in the league for five years or you're in the league for one year.

I consider myself a trendsetter.

There is a lot of extra energy with being in a Lakers uniform.

It's easy to be just a basketball player, get paid and come here to do that. But to be professional about it is different.

When you're not the Steph Currys or the Kyrie Irvings of the league, long-term promises are irrelevant.

When I was in L.A., the structure wasn't up to par as I wanted it to be.

I can control how much work I put in for me to be consistent.

If I have the ball in my hands, I'll make a play. If don't, I'll try to get in position to make a play. I think that's what it comes down to.

No matter what the circumstances, you always enjoy being around guys that you bond with, win, lose, whatever it may be.

You always can count on New York fans to be there.

When a coach tells you to shoot the ball, it's like a green light for you. You can't want that more than anything. But the catch is you got to be good enough to know that when you're not open, you gotta pass.

I liked Cleveland, they got so much heart in that arena.

I'm the weirdest alien on this planet. I don't do anything by routine.

If you save your money right, you can have what you want.

I hate talking to media. I hate it, man. You have to. But it's crazy. I thought there were only two things in this world that you had to do, and that was die and pay taxes. Now I know that you've got to talk to media. And I hate it.

I got ice in my veins!

I am comfortable with being uncomfortable.

A lot of teams - they want a point guard and I am bouncing around, why not put me in those talks and try to get me?
