If a guy is not serious about being a student-athlete then why force him into the college system. He's not serious about getting education.

If you look at the history of the NBA, guys that came out of high school are the guys that held the NBA together. You look a Kobe Bryant, you look at a LeBron, these are household names.

What AI was able to do at his size, with the teams that he had was remarkable, you can't take that from him.

When I got traded to the Raptors Kyle Lowry told me, 'We expect you to average 15 points a game off the bench.' And I said, 'Perfect, so you need me here.' And that made me feel wanted. So once he put that expectation on me, it just made everything fall into place.

I thought I was pretty average height. And then it just clicked to me - 'Yo, you're undersized.' I guess when I got older and my body started hurting, I'm like, 'I'm not as big as I thought I was.' So I always played with the mentality that I was bigger than I actually was.

I can't shoot straight-up. I've always played crooked. One of my coaches says I play backwards. I do everything backwards. I don't have coordination. It's weird to watch me play.

I wanted to prove that I could be a starter. And then once I realized I was gonna be a sixth man and it wasn't gonna change, I just relished the role. I just said, 'I'm going to make it really hard on whoever it is that has to guard me these next 10-11 minutes that I'm in here.' And after a while you just create an identity.

A guy tried to rob me but decided not to because of whatever I do in the community. He's a Lou Williams fan, so he didn't rob me.

There's crime everywhere.

I'm a creature of habit. I don't really like change.

I've always been friends with guys who are 6, 7 years older than me.

I've always had a maturity level different than guys my age.

I realize the responsibility of being a starting point guard.

Coming off the bench was an adjustment for me.

I'm conscious of my turnovers.

I've always been kind of a fourth-quarter guy.

It's one of those things I have been able to do - play well with my teammates and getting others involved.

I always thought I was a good shooter.

Any time you make a basketball team you have the opportunity to be successful.

Obviously, Ray Allen is a huge threat, Eddie House coming off the bench is a huge threat, as far as three-pointers go.

I'm not going to be the guy that says, 'I'm the new point guard, look at me, look at me, put me on billboards and sell my jersey.' I'm not going to be him. I'm going to do my job.

I'm not easily influenced by a lot of people.

I would love to start if a coach considered me as a starter.

I think in Toronto my job was to score just based on the system that we had. We played a lot of iso basketball - a lot of one-on-one basketball.

Honestly, I was a troublemaker. The environment I grew up in, my mom and my sister, they decided they were going to sign me up in every single thing to keep me busy. I played football, basketball, baseball. Anything, whatever was in season, I was signed up for it. Basketball was one of the things that just stuck.

Music was a big part of my family with gatherings, picnics, barbecues.

I watch a lot of Bill Maher.

I'm a country boy.

I love hooping. I love competing.

I didn't realize I was that short!

I just challenge the big guys and attack them, and use my quickness to my advantage.

As I get older I'm seeing the game clearer.

Once you start going out putting expectation levels on yourself, you lose the concept of trying to win the game.

I was raised in the NBA. I've seen some guys stay and I've seen a lot go. I've watched James Harden be a rival of mine for Sixth Man of the Year to an MVP candidate.

I don't really focus on the guy that's defending me.

Teams know what I bring to the table.

I want to be successful. I want to be able to win.

When you're losing that tends to kind of build the character of everybody together.

I had the opportunity to play alongside Allen Iverson and Kevin Ollie at the same time. I kind of had the best of both worlds. I had one guy that was super talented and another guy that came with his lunch pail every day and that was a worker. I want to kind of be a mix of both.

I've always been a guy to try to create contact; create scoring opportunities based off the free throw line and being aggressive in that way.

I think my assist numbers dropped off in Toronto with the way we were built. We played a lot of isolation basketball. I know we were in the bottom half in the NBA as far as assists go.

I've always been a guy that's just prided myself on making plays.

Any time I can play basketball I enjoy being out on the court.

It's not an easy thing to be in this league 10 years. Especially with me being a second-round pick, the 46th pick, and an undersized guard, to carve a lane for myself and have a career, for my family to realize that and appreciate that, it meant a lot to me.

I watched myself get drafted by myself. I walked out of my own draft party because I was a little frustrated.

You don't want a team going around the league just thinking they can beat you by 30, 40 points every time that you play them.

This is the NBA, anybody can beat anybody.

I wouldn't call myself a real point guard.

Playoff basketball isn't about who scores, stats or putting numbers up on the board. It's just about winning at the end of the day. When you play a game in a series, it becomes chess. It becomes who can outsmart the other team.

When it comes down to playoff basketball, it's attention to detail.
