My passion is basketball and I'm so lucky to be able to use this sport to give back to my community.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I trust the NBA, I trust the league and Adam Silver and the job he's been able to do.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
The fact that I will be a relentless rebounder and I will go for every rebound. That's a skill.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
Once you work hard, you're confident. You know what it takes. And you know the hours that you put in to have the results that you have.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
There's no way to practice or run or do anything to match the speed of the game.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
It's about continuing to develop as a player and continuing to get better and that's something that I'm hoping to do every single year.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I think it's about creating a brand for yourself and making sure that you're known, and that people know you for who you are. How do you do something that represents you and translates everything that you represent as a person and as a player? I think that's something that we all develop.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
Having more freedom to bring the ball up and have the ball in my hands, just trusting me with the ball, that was one of the big things. My rookie year, I didn't have that. Just having that trust in me, just working and them seeing that I'm getting better at it, that I'm capable, that was kind of like a changing point for me.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I think I always knew that the things that I was born with can definitely translate to the NBA. Energy and being able to run, rebound, those things will always translate.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I watch a lot of players. Guys like Kenneth Faried, his motor. I'm trying to take that and put that into my game.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
If you watch my game, freshman year to sophomore year, I was a different player.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
It's gonna be on me to go out there every single night and make sure that I'm the best player that can be and I continue to work hard and don't get complacent and do everything in my power to to be at that level.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I've always put the work in to not only get be an All-Star, but be an All-Star for a long time. That's my goal.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I love the fact that I can not be able to do something and I can put in a lot of hours doing it and I can become good at it,' Siakam said. 'It feels good. It feels so great, and I enjoy that.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
People would make fun of me because they were acting like I can't dribble. But, in my head, I was always a guard... I was like, 'Yo, I'm tall, but I don't care. I'm not no big man.'
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
It wasn't like I came in and was like, 'I'm going to be a starter.' That was never in my head. It was always about, like, 'I can make sure I come and I'm better and I can handle the ball and I can shoot and I can defend. And, if I can do those things, I will play.'
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I'm able to guard multiple positions, switch and pick and rolls, guard from two to four and be able to help my defence out and rebound the basketball, block shots.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I gotta continue within the offence and just understand it, pick and choose when to attack and things like that.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
In college from my freshman year to my sophomore year, I always got better, and that's just my mindset.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
My dad worked hard to take care of six kids. He worked hard to make sure we had everything we needed.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I'm an athlete. Anything that involves running or jumping I've always been excited about, so basketball was exciting.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I have to be able to shoot the ball, I have to be able to dangerous not only going to the basket but on the perimeter.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
After MIP, it was like, 'OK, there is way more.' We thinking MVP, we thinking All-Star.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
Most of the time when I don't set goals, I always exceed whatever goal people have.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I always feel like I just wanna go, and that's something that I'm learning every day - understanding to think more instead of just going because I see an advantage or I see that 'oh, I can make this move, I can make this shot.'
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
Winning a championship was the best thing that has happened to me that I've been through, that I've seen in my life.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I've always believed in myself and I've always put the work in to get to not only be an all-star but be an all-star for a long time. That's my goal. I think about these things and I feel like I have the ability to do it.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
The fact that I can come in and give energy to the team, no matter my skill level, I have that. That's an NBA ready skill.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
I ask myself what my father would think of me making it to the NBA every day. I hope he's proud. I hope he's watching down and realizing that his dream became a reality.
Quote by -Pascal Siakam
Having fun with family, playing video games, and listening to music calms me down and gets me away from the NBA world.
