I used to sneak into the Forum to watch the Lake Show, when I lived in L.A. with my pop. I was born in Seattle, and for fourth, and fifth grade, I went to L.A., then I came back to Seattle and then back to L.A. for eighth, ninth, and 10th grade. But it was easy to sneak in the Forum, like really easy.

I have to pray before I play, and I gotta eat right before I go out there. For a while when I was younger, I would always eat chicken tenders and fries no matter what.

I think my style of play, not drinking, I think I'm a product of clean living. I don't drink, don't smoke.

I just hate being out of shape.

You can be in shape forever, it takes one week to get out of shape.

I've never made an All-Star Game, but I've always had my peers' and coaches' respect around the league.

Obviously you want to play hard all the time, but at different moments of the game you step it up even more.

I think you just have to be more aggressive when you come off the bench.

Career wise, consistency is one of the keys to longevity. When you are consistent people know what they are going to get, and that's the foundation for having a long career.

My passion and love for the game has always kept me going.

When you are a rookie you are going through everything for the first time, your first DNP, your first not seeing eye to eye with a coach, first understanding trades happen, guys making more money play more. I was overwhelmed. I had a lot of maturing to do.

I'm not the person that when he has an off shooting game is going to make excuses.

I've been scoring a lot longer than I haven't been in my life, so I can deal with the ups and downs of it.

I think my brand is just being authentic and being me. Everybody goes right, I go left.

My confidence doesn't leave, honestly.

Wherever I go, I have a basketball with me. I used to dribble a basketball down the street to the movie theater, to the mall.

Meditation is about breathing, it's about clarity, taking your time and not rushing through your thinking.

The main thing is being consistent, being efficient and getting good looks, moving the ball when you can and knocking down my free throws.

I had surgery on my core muscles. They were ripping apart.

My dad is the person who taught me how important the mental side of the game is. He studied kung fu growing up and he taught me how to meditate when I was a kid.

I just go out there and play basketball. I'm not worried about missing. I just got to be thinking about the next shot.

I want everyone to know: You can play basketball in Canada and you can still get to where you need to go.

Meditation helps me see things clearer. When things are going fast, it helps me slow them down.

I know how to come off a handoff and a pin down.

Favorite rap album? Damn. Lil Wayne's mixtapes... He got a lot of good mixtapes like 'Da Drought 3.'

I remember playing hockey as a kid - I was goalie in gym class and I was pretty good at it. But basketball was my passion. As a kid I went to class, came back from school, did my homework and went straight across the street to practice.

It was a lot of fun to grow up in Canada.

The first martial arts movie I ever watched was this old Chinese film called 'Five Deadly Venoms.' I was seven years old. My dad and I were sitting in front of the TV on the floor in our living room.

I grew up in a kung fu house. It wasn't until I got older that I discovered that most families didn't talk about the Shaolin Temple or Jackie Chan at the dinner table.

The best part of watching kung fu movies with my dad was the conversations they sparked. We never watched them just for fun. 'Do you see how good his balance is?' My dad would always zero in on really specific stuff like that. Everything had a potential lesson.

Learning to meditate is one of my earliest memories. I started when I was maybe three or four. I mean, I didn't know I was meditating. I just thought it was a weird game my dad had invented.

Well, my dad did a lot of Kung Fu when I was growing up, so he taught me a lot about mental toughness. Ways to slow your heart rate down, slow your breathing down to take control of your body so you can push yourself to the next limit.

Well, being at a big school, I had to perform every night. I had to deal with a lot of fans, media stuff, interactions, relationships, you know, just to build myself and show how much I care about Kentucky.

When you go to like the Nike Hoops Summit, or the All-Canadian Game, all those really matter in your development and how people perceive you as far as how good of a player you are.

The fourth quarter is where players are made.

You want to make every shot, but it's not going to happen like that.

Bruce Lee took his craft very seriously, just as my dad took his stuff very seriously. I just loved Lee's attitude.

It doesn't matter who you're playing against. It's what you can do with your ability and what you believe in.

You can't go into a game lax and acting like somebody isn't trying to beat you.

As a child, I was competitive in whatever it was - first one to eat your wings, first one to run to the door. In everything we were competitive. I always wanted to have the edge.

My dad taught me a lot of meditative techniques. I used that to my advantage.

I just want to go to the right team. The team that wants me. The team that believes in my potential.

I believe I can score on anybody.

I play with a lot of heart, play with a lot of passion. And when you're fighting for something, it means a whole lot more.

I just like competing.

I can't control what the other team's gonna feel. I'm just gonna go out there and hoop, and whoever takes it to heart and takes their losses salty, I can't do anything about that.

Coming from Canada, I've always had people doubt me or doubt my ability. We're just going to keep letting our game talk.

In life, you find things that hold value to you. You find things to fight for.

I played the two guard in college, and playing point guard is what I've done all my life.

I'm not just here to get a paycheck and leave. I'm here to be one of the greatest basketball players to ever play.
