The night before games, I try to get some shots up. Early on the game day, I come early in the morning to try to get some shots up. I just try to do the same things: go through the scouting, watch some clips before the game, just try to get my body ready.

Every coach has a different style and approach.

I'm a humble kid. I grew up with Filathlitikos. There were some people in Filathlitikos that taught to me how to stay humble. It was coach Tzivas that never allowed me to get carried away. That's who I am.

I'm serious about it, and I want to spend my money wise. I'm not going to throw away any money.

Dirk Nowitzki is the best European player, for me, that's ever played the game. He's an unbelievable talent.

Losing someone you love is tough.

To be one of the best to ever play the game? I think I have the ability to do that. But I've got to work hard. If I just keep talking and don't put some work in, it's not going to happen.

It doesn't matter how you're playing: you've got to be vocal - you've got to be aggressive - if you really want to be one of the best in this league.

When I was young and I could dream a bit, I could see myself participating in the slam dunk contest. I've always wanted to experience that.

I like to score when I can, but if I can't do that, I like to do the other things - defense, blocking, rebounding.

It's good to know that your coach cares about you.

I cannot take 30 jumpers a game. Got to have a balance. You've got to get your teammates involved.

I never went to college.

I'm loyal to the people I work with.

Persistent in life? I think, yes, I am. I'm going to do something until I get it right.

I'm a low-profile guy.

I don't like all these flashy cities like L.A. or Miami. I don't know if I could be the same player if I played in those cities.

I like Rice Krispie treats. I like Skittles and Snickers.

Me and my mother, we both love Eddie Murphy.

I am honored to be the first international player featured on the cover of 'NBA 2K19.'

When LeBron came into the league, I was 9 years old. So I grew up watching him play.

I just try to stay grounded.

It's hard when the season ends and you're not waking up no more for practices, games. You're not in your routine no more.

I want to be an all-around basketball player.

I know I can get to the basket whenever I want, but I've got to be able to create some plays, like easy plays.

Sometimes I'm wide open, I've just got to shoot it.

I think for a guy like me, low-profile guy, it's better being in Milwaukee.

I'm really scared of failing.

Whatever I try to do, I always try to give it my best and try to be a killer because, at the end of the day, if you don't work hard, you are not going to get food on your table.

I watched a lot of Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson, Kevin Durant, and a lot of Paul Pierce. I used to watch Tracy McGrady as well along with Kevin Garnett.

With back-to-backs, a lot of games, sometimes you think, 'I've got to take a day off today.' But you have to push through it. The greats did.

I know that guys can't guard me one-on-one.

Milwaukee is really quiet. The people here are really respectful. They can see me in the street, walking on the road. I can go to anyplace in Milwaukee without people being all over me. I appreciate that.

When you're young, it's hard to lead people that are older than you.

A lot of players will tell you, 'When I was a kid, I watched Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, LeBron, Magic, and I wanted to be just like them.' For me, it wasn't like that at all.

I love Milwaukee! I'm going to be in Milwaukee 20 years! I'll be here so long, they'll be sick of me!

I'm a guy who doesn't really care about glamour and big markets; I like to be home all day.

I get up in the morning, I take a shower, and I go to practice. When I'm finished, the only thing that's on my mind is to go back home and spend time with my family.

At first, when my agent told me, 'They want you to do an interview, a piece for '60 Minutes,' I was like, 'What is '60 Minutes?''

I think my rookie, I was just having fun. I was 18, and I was living the American dream.

Tim Duncan did it. Dirk Nowitzki did it. I just want to be one of those guys... that stays for the city, play for the city for 20 years.

I think my jump shot could get a lot, lot better. I could become a really big threat out there.

Of course, I know by growing older, I'm going to become stronger, smarter, and know the game better.

You can never come back fresher after the all-star break. I always try to do what I do, try to take care of my body, get some weights in, feel a little bit stronger and ready to push through 25 games.

Gregg Popovich is among the greatest coaches ever.

You never know how life turns out.

I am a boring guy, I think.

I just stay home all the time. But the things I have learned outside of basketball is you got to take care of your body.

I try to come in, try to defend, help on defense, play as hard as possible and do whatever my coach and my teammates tell me and try to listen and get better.

Just every day try to be a leader, try to get better and to help my team win. I just want to be more vocal, like talk more so my teammates can know I got their back.
