I've always loved myself, always.

You've got to win. You've got to win to be respected in this league.

Great teams, you see players working off of wavelengths. Telepathic, not even actual physical things.

Especially when you're a leader, you have to do the things that aren't the popular choice. But that's fine, you have to be able to make those decisions, without a doubt.

I'm an Eagles fan since I was young. I'm always going to stay loyal to my team.

Never get too high; never get too low.

Anytime someone expects something from me, I expect about five times more from myself.

It's amazing, the things you learn, the experiences you go through, the feeling of being like a rock star that goes with being a University of Kentucky basketball player. Just the ability to feel fame for the first time - that's something Kentucky gives you.

I don't necessarily view myself as a big - I view myself just as a player, someone who can go out there and contribute to the team from any position.

I remember being back in Knollwood Middle School back in Piscataway. I remember waking up Saturday mornings playing with my age group and the age group above me.

I want to be the strongest player, the most intelligent player, and the most skilled player on the court at all times.

For me, it's about trying to do everything I can to help us win. Try to bring that energy every night, try to make it as contagious as possible and try to win a game.

I've talked to a lot of NBA superstars and legends about how I can improve my IQ offensively and defensively.

Every time I get to lace up my shoes, I am happy. Every time I see my jersey and I get to put it on, I feel like a kid in the candy store. Every time I get the chance to play, I am going to play.

It's an honor to be named Rookie of the Year by the media.

I've been blessed that my dad taught me at a young age about versatility and how to not be specialized in one area, so it's made my transition from each step in my career very comfortable because I had the fundamentals and the foundation to do anything the coach needed me to do.

When you have a person like him who is going to tell you throughout the year about how to deal with little bumps in the road as the No. 1 pick, there's no one better to have than Andrew Wiggins.

These guys, just because we're NBA athletes, we're not superhumans.

People feel that I have overachieved, but I feel that, myself, that I work tremendously hard in the gym. I feel almost I have underachieved a little bit.

I think the biggest thing I want to learn from Kevin Garnett, with him having a ring, is how do I become a championship player? How do I see how a championship team looks like? How do I use myself to be a championship contributor?

When you have the chance to go against a brother of yours on the court, you're always looking at each other like, If you score, we're looking at each other. If I score, I'm looking at him.

Every matchup is very important regardless of who the bigs are, who the guards are.

I only worry about what I can control.

We always have great practices, and the competition is high, and the intensity is high; it's just about doing that now in a game and sustaining it for 48 minutes.

We expect nothing but greatness from ourselves.

We put pressure on ourselves because we want to be so great; we want to be the best team possible that we can be.

I think the biggest thing is, you have to understand the different rules. There are so many rules that change from college to the NBA. Change of pace is a big thing, also.

I'm very passionate, and I love the game I play.

I have a huge admiration for fans in China. I think they're some of the greatest basketball fans in the world. I think they're passionate and love the game, almost second to none.

When everyone is buying into a system and puts their ego to the side, that's when greatness happens.

You got to earn your buckets and earn your respect.

Those are the ones you look forward to: going against a great, talented player, someone who's going to be in this league for a long time, who you're going to be seeing for a long time. Get a chance to go out, compete, and just have fun. Those are the fun match-ups.

I think it's just fun when you're being competitive and when you're in the game and winning.

Winning's always fun.

When we're doing everything we can to win, it's very fun.

Playing 'MyNBA2K' and 'NBA2K' is an essential part of my offseason and keeps me grounded during the season with all my travel.

I love that I will have the opportunity to connect further with my fans through 'MyNBA2K17.'

When you're talking to legends, they've already went through this process of playing in the NBA and also living after their career is over. Being able to hear their stories, how they've had success and others have had success to get an idea of what we should be looking to do and know what we need to do is just really helpful.

When you have a player like Tyus Jones, instantly chemistry is made.

The defense will tell you who shoots the ball. If it comes down to them trying to take the ball out of my hands, I trust my teammates to go out there and make every shot.

I'm not too worried about points and all that stuff. It's about making the right play.

Thanks to my dad, I've always had it. He always told me how important it was to be versatile. Every time we worked out in the gym, it was always all the skills, not just being a big man.

If you want to be great, there are so many talented players who have come in and out the league. But only a few of them are remembered as being great. It's because they were willing to say they don't know. And I'm willing to say that I don't know everything.

I do not know how it is to be a great player, to be a Hall of Famer. I want to learn.

I could care less about statistics. It's all about team success.

I love the game so much, I just want to play every time I can.

People who know me know I'm never satisfied.

It's hard to get me to even say I played good. That's just in me. I'm just never satisfied. A lot of my friends get annoyed by it.

I'm never happy about anything, playing-wise. I always think there's things I messed up on, things I should've done differently that could've, A, made us win, or B, made the win easier.

I've never felt like I've had a good game.
