I don't feel like I'm influenced by anybody, but I feel I'm definitely becoming more a leader.

I went through that phase in my life where everything I did wrong was displayed into the public and all over national TV, so I went through a part of my life where I was afraid to do things because I didn't want to make a mistake.

Being on a team with four All-Stars is unheard of.

Yeah I definitely rep the city of Flint.

Personally I'm just trying to take advantage of every moment that I get.

I've been the same goofy guy I've been this whole time.

I'm definitely excited about getting better.

The best thing when you get pneumonia is rest - that's it, just rest.

Personally, I've always been a philanthropist. I've always given away turkeys and did gift giveaways.

It's definitely a grind. Come to the gym early, leave late.

As a kid, you always wanna play for either the Lakers or Boston just for the rivalry alone.

I stay in my lane and do what I want to do. I don't worry about the outside world.

For breakfast, I'll have some oatmeal, avocado toast, and a shake.

Dinner is usually just pasta with mushrooms.

My favorite artists would be Drake, Future.

I feel like there was a belief that I couldn't play more than 10 minutes in the league because of asthma or because of anything.

I just do whatever I want to do.

If you're just dunking by yourself, it's really nothing special. You have to dunk on someone - then you feel like you're demoralizing them.

As long as I'm efficient, I'm just going to try to be the most efficient player I can be.

It's definitely more important to finish games than start games.

I'm a multi-skilled big.

I can pass and I can shoot and I can do some other things also.

Blocking a shot can really demoralize a person and defer them from coming to the rim the rest of the game. So being able to do that and change the landscape of the game by one play is pretty amazing.

I'm not really a flashy dunker or a show dunker unless somebody's in front of me. That's the only time I really get wide-eyed: when I can dunk on somebody. If it's a wide-open dunk, I've never been the type to dunk it real hard wide-open and scream.

You've just got to focus on you, yourself, your family, your team... and all the rest is just fluff.

It was a really empowering thing playing with Golden State, because they let the players play and they let the players communicate and they let the players decide things.

I'm not afraid to fail - at all.

It inspires me to see people who don't have much, but still give so much to others.

It's low-key depressing when you're not winning.

We call Michael Beasley a walking bucket. All he needs is some dishwater and a mop.

If I get traded, I get traded. It's a part of the business.

It's all love in L.A. The fans are great.

Rondo is great with the steals, also on offense with the passing and court vision.

It's just a reassuring feeling, a confidence-builder I guess, knowing that you're going into a situation wanted as an option, like you're really wanted.

I'm just going to keep preparing for the best.

I feel like big men don't like it when they're getting fronted by smaller guys and they just staying real, real aggressive.

Yeah, I get frustrated. But I try not to let those frustrations get out into the media or get out onto the court in my play.

I try to bring positivity to the team.

I tend to do well against big 4s who are real skilled because I'm tall, lanky and athletic.

I just want to contribute to our wins.

Everything I do is premeditated.

I chose basketball over film.

People try to bring negativity into my life, but it's crazy how I deflect it.

I don't need to be a banger. I dunk on people.

I feel like in the course of my career, I've been in the iPhone era and the dilution of the big man.

I definitely have to focus more and think more on what exactly I'm doing, rather than just use my athleticism.

I block shots and stay out the way.

I'm hoping I'm remembered as one of the most prolific shot-blockers.

I used to be a wait-at-the-rim big, more of a Rudy Gobert-type of player.

I feel like people think that I have mental lapses and I'm injury-prone, which isn't true. You just don't know me.
