I'm not cocky, I'm humble, but I think I can be really special, one of the top players in the league.

I like playing in front of the crowd and get them into it.

People have labeled the Process as whatever, tanking. I don't see it like that.

Before games and sometimes practice, I like something with a dope beat. Like Rick Ross, when he's just like, 'RUH!,' all that stuff.

Every time I get on the court, I want to push my teammates to be better as a leader and lead by example.

If I play against you the first time - or it doesn't even have to be the first time - and you want to be all physical and just talk, or talking trash or whatever, it just gets me going.

I'm actually really good at everything I do.

When I sat down with Under Armour, one of the first things we talked about was how this can be bigger than just shoes, bigger than just basketball.

I love competing. I mean, if you ask anybody around me, my coaches, they know I love competing. I hate losing.

When I look at myself, I'm not a big man - I'm a guard. I can do everything on the basketball court. You can name it - pass, post up, shoot the ball, bring the ball up, being a playmaker - so I'm excited to break that stereotype.

On social media, I can hide behind the computer or the iPhone. Internet courage.

I have lots of confidence in myself that I can fulfill my dreams and make the people of Philadelphia proud.

I'm not made of glass.

I love being physical.

I think it would've been a little easier if I grew up in America; they've got better conditions for basketball players. At the same time, many people have said to me that having to start playing so late helped me not pick up bad habits.

I'm very good at drawing fouls.

I feel like I'm one of the most physical players in the league - I love contact. I love attacking. I love going to the free throw line.

I think I'm a good offensive player, good defensive player. I do it on both ends of the floor.

My life is like a movie.

I like Meek Mill a lot. I listen to 'Dreams & Nightmares' introduction a lot. I always act crazy when the beat drops.

We're always going to be trusting the process.

If the team needs me to recruit somebody, I'll be here. I'll be doing that.

I look like I'm not listening, but I'm actually listening. I like listening to everything, observing everybody, just taking everything in, and then, in my mind, figuring out what's good for me and what's bad for me.

One thing when I started playing in the league, I saw that a lot of guys are friendly. It's OK to be friendly, especially off the court. But on the court, I want to dominate.

I'm trying to dominate, and if you dominate, you're going to be hated because you're going to talk so much stuff.

I want to win the MVP. I feel like, at the end of the day, it might be an individual award, but when I play better, the team also does.

Philly will be the place for me for my whole career.

I want to be the Defensive Player of the Year and, if I have the chance, be MVP.

Every time I'm on the court, every time a fan cheers for me, I just want to go out and make a play for them to cheer even more.

I'm starting to figure it out - figure out my spots, where I should be on the court, where I'm most effective, and how I handle double teams - and it's paying off.

I'm just going to do my job, what coach wants me to do, be a defensive piece, and when needed to be a scorer, I'm going to be that.

I feel like I have a lot of potential, a lot of stuff to show.

One thing the fans got to understand is that I missed two years, and we took it really, really slow, and we made sure everything was good, and my foot has been great.

If I'm playing well, and we're winning games, that's what I want.

If they're going to foul me, I'm going to step to the line and make some free throws.

Back in 2011, I was kind of shy. I wasn't as good because that was the year, also, when I started playing basketball.

If I feel great and my body feels great and my knee is fine, I should play 30 minutes or more. I definitely have my opinion on that.

I started playing basketball very late, and for me to make it to the league so fast... I've always said my life is a movie.

I love when people talk trash.

I think the concept of minute restrictions is kind of complicated. I don't think there should ever be minute restrictions. I think it should always be about how my body feels and how it's reacting.

I always like to have some type of connection with the crowd.

Whatever happens happens. If something happens, something happens. But I believe in God, and I pray every day.

Sometimes, I feel like I'm lost. But I've always said that I believe in God.

On the defensive end, I have to do my job.

In a season, you're going to go through slumps.

I love when guys come at the beginning of the game and start talking trash. It gets me going.

I wanted to become president, and I wanted to become an astronaut. Because I was really good at math.

I love when people tell me that I was gonna be a bust. I enjoy when people tell me, 'You suck. You can't dribble. You can't shoot,' because it's like, gotta go to the gym.

When I was visiting schools, I wanted to go and see what they got. After my visit, I knew that Kansas was good.

I always think about myself as, like, a regular person. I want to be able to enjoy everything.
