I like to write, I like to reflect, and not just poetry, I like to write my thoughts down. I think it's good for people who are more introspective, and it helps me get a better understanding of myself.

I played videogames growing up, but my parents really monitored how much I was playing.

Basketball is like the one game I can't figure out when it comes to videogames.

To use a phrase that I don't often use, the NBA is very much a woke league. It's at the forefront of a lot of things - training, fashion, food, diet.

I was never a very adventurous eater growing up, despite the fact that my mother is a nutritionist and my parents have always had a garden in our yard.

When I was at Duke, I finally had an avocado - accidentally - on a turkey sandwich. I was hooked. Next thing I know, I couldn't get enough guacamole.

As I finished up my time at Duke, I certainly wasn't a 'foodie' but I was learning to enjoy the finer things in the culinary world.

I think anytime you have any sort of injury, you know I've come back from a pulled hamstring in college one time, foot injuries. The movement that causes the initial jolt of pain you always kind of are tentative when you have to make that movement, especially as you kind of build back up.

Most of my shots are threes and long 2-point jumpers.

Our job collectively, players and coaches, is to figure out a way to play that we can put ourselves in a position to win.

There's certain points in the season - I think players go through it and teams go through it - where you just have stretches and you're stuck in a rut or you feel like nothing's going right. You just got to keep grinding, and eventually it'll turn.

I always enjoy competition.

I think anytime you have expectations for your team and for yourself and you have goals that you want to accomplish you can't overlook the small stuff and the baby steps.

My thing is just trying to figure out how we can win ball games.

I don't care about starting or coming off the bench or anything like that. To me, whatever role I'm in I'm going to try to help us win.

I didn't like the way I shot the ball in Milwaukee, so I worked really hard on my shooting - threes off the move and off the catch. And also continued to work on my ball-handling and my in-between game - my runners and floaters.

I always feel like you can get better in any area.

Obviously, you look at a situation and you say, 'What do I need to do to fit in?' I looked at the Clippers and said, 'I really need to work on my dunk shots.'

I feel like when I look back at my career I've always done better and I've always been happier when there's more expectation and more pressure.

I think I can pass the ball pretty well and I move the ball.

I feel so fortunate to have great coaching. Coaches that have taught me great habits and taught me great things about basketball and life, but I've always played for coaches who have held me accountable and that's made me a better player and person.

My second year was particularly difficult because I had high expectations.

Would I want to get traded again midseason? Hopefully, never.

I feel like every guy has a job to do on the defensive end, and that job can change night to night. My biggest thing is, I try to do my job, and compete.

Anything I can use on the court to help me is good.

In terms of my career, it's been a lot of incremental improvement slowly over time.

I'm no dummy. So much of the NBA is just fit and situation, and I always say this, for 85 to 90 percent of the league, your performance is often dictated by your situation and your coaches.

Tattoos are a thing I've never really planned out. They just kind of happen spontaneously, on a whim. It's kind of like curating a watch collection, it just kind of happens. I like it to happen organically.

I would never say never, but it's not in my plans to be a coach.

I think winning Game 7s, it's an incredible feeling.

My requirement of my fitness level is different than some players.

There's no greater feeling in the world than when you can put a smile on somebody's face just by walking into a room. It's unbelievable. And if I have that power, who am I to waste it, you know?

If you don't have that vision for the end goal, you have no clue where you're going, and you're going to work very hard to go nowhere.

What I remember most about high school are the memories I created with my friends.

A reputation takes years and years and years to build, and it takes one press of a button to ruin it. Don't let that happen to you. You've done so much work; you've put in so much effort. Don't let one moment ruin your entire life because you wanted to be funny or you were mad or because you had a mood.

I will always do what I can to help others, but when I retire, I want to be a dad and a husband. I want a house and a dog in the yard. I want to have barbecues.

My family is a middle-class family. When I grew up and learned how much it actually cost for us to play hockey, I could not believe that my parents let us play as long as they did.

If you want to be remembered as great, if you want to be a legend, you have to go out there every single day and do stuff.

A sack is way better than any nightclub. A touchdown is way better than any bar experience I've ever had.

When it comes down to that moment, when it's me against you, you know in your head whether you worked hard enough. You can try to lie to yourself. You can try to tell yourself that you put in the time. But you know - and so do I.

I'm a Wisconsin kid, so I like brats and burgers and stuff like that. Cheese curds.

People play with pain all the time.

In Wisconsin, style-wise, it was all about bundling up, maybe wearing a hat and forgetting about your hair.

I ate a whole 20-inch pizza by myself one time.

It's hard to understand the life that I live and rationalize some of the things that I do. I don't need someone questioning every move that I make, asking me why I don't just relax. When there's no one asking me those types of questions... to me, it's peaceful.

You can find just about everything on my iPod from Eminem to Zac Brown to Justin Timberlake to One Direction. Everything is on there.

I respect every guy that has walked away. I think every single guy in this league makes his own decision, and that's perfectly fine. The reason I respect that and the reason I think every guy has his own way of dealing with things is because, in my personal opinion, I know what I'm getting into.

Since my sophomore year in high school, I knew I didn't want to do anything but be a professional athlete. I knew when I got to college there was no way anybody was going to stop me from being an NFL player.

There's plenty of days when I don't want to eat chicken breast and broccoli and rice, but I know what I have to do, and I know the sacrifice I have to make.

Hockey, honestly, was my first love. The excitement, the fast pace, the intensity of the game... I still love it to this day.
