I think that's one of the advantages for me. I know I have so much to learn. I have to grow. It allows me to look at my mistakes and evaluate them and try to see how I can do better.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
Scoring, that's my thing... Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto'o, those were the guys that we looked at as kids like, 'Man, they're doing it, and they're doing it at a high level.' We would see them on TV. So, it wasn't much about basketball, to be honest, it was just those type of athletes. Those guys were the guys that we looked at as kids.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
My dad is a part of who I am, and he was a very hard working person and someone who worked to achieve his goals and make sure his family is straight and I always admired that. My mom worked so hard. I had two hard-working parents around me.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
If I'm starting, I'm gonna do that, that's the main goal for me, to be the best player I can be. But being on the bench, I'll be the best I can be and help the team to the best of my ability.

Quote by -Pascal Siakam
To be honest, I see more championships, I see MVP, I see so much more that I can accomplish. There's no reason to be satisfied.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I said before, I want to be a starter, I want to be an all-star - not a borderline all-star.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
When you get minutes and you have the trust of the coaches and guys just letting you play your game and be yourself, it definitely helps.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I just work and continue to do whatever I can do to get to the highest level I can get. If that's an All-Star? Sure, I'll take it. But I don't have my mind set on that.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I just want to keep working and keep getting better and I'm always going to get better.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I think that's the beauty of it - knowing you're not where you want to be, there is something new you can learn every day. That gets you excited.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
Being able to make plays goes a lot, helps me navigate the defense and find open guys or score myself.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
Like I always say, whatever is my weakness, I try to work on it and I try to get better at it.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
Music has always been a part of my life. I love music. All ranges or any type of style.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
There might be games where I feel like I don't have the energy I'm supposed to have. So for me, I think it's important that every single night I bring the energy.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
Moving from Cameroon to Texas, that was a change. Learning English, the culture, everything was different so I had to adjust.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I'm definitely not a personal-type guy where I care about personal accolades and stuff, but definitely a team-guy first.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I just enjoy sometimes after the games, guys coming up to me and showing respect for me.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I got to have more of those type of games where I'm just engaged. It doesn't matter the score or how many points I score.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I think it's always good to learn on the court instead of being on the bench.

Watching Ibaka and all those people. They were from Africa. They spoke French. They were kind of like me. That's when I began thinking basketball is something I can do.

Nobody's going to replace your dad, but I had some support from people who cared for me.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
My brothers told me all the time that I'd end up playing basketbal. But I didn't want to play. I wanted to do something else, anything other than basketball.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
My life hasn't changed, it's been the same. What's helped me with that is keeping my circle tight, having the people that care about me around me.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
It's easy to relax and get comfortable but you can't be comfortable if you want to be great.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
We think about a lot of things that we want to do and sometimes it might feel like, you know, it's not even possible, that we can't really achieve that. But I think it's really important to let kids know, starting from when they're young, that if they put their mind to something and put the time in, they can definitely achieve it.
