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.

I've got an addiction to this game. An addiction to being perfect.

I'm in the search for the perfect game.

We need to find ways to grow as a team and get better to be the best team possible.

Flip Saunders is a great coach and a great guy. Glen Taylor is the same way. He's a great human being.

The thing is, you don't ever want to have pressure turn to stress.

It doesn't matter if it's game one or game 82, playoffs or whatever. Sometimes the basketball gods don't play in your favor that night.

I compete at the highest level every single night, regardless what the outcome is.

You dwell too much on the past, you forget that you've got to take care of the present.

When you have someone who is with you every step of the way and is trying to help you and guide you to the right direction, it just makes life much easier but also makes life more fun.

When I was younger, I was taught to be as versatile as possible.

If you're versatile, there's no reason a coach can't have you in the game. That's what my dad's philosophy was, so from a young age, he taught me to be a guard first and a big second, though I don't think he had a crystal ball to be able to see what the NBA would become.

One of the things that has benefited me in my career is being part of the new age of technology: the ability growing up to get on the Internet at friends' houses and go on YouTube and watch videos of great players.

I'm not a guy who's about the material things.

My family brings me great energy.

That's what my game is built around: versatility.

I work on my body tremendously to be able to withstand whatever is thrown my way.

I think my personality is not because I was born this way but because I was raised this way. I was raised with a lot of fun, a lot of joy, a lot of happiness, a lot of passion, and that's how my family is.

My favorite memory of Kevin Garnett is not a memory - it's more of the experience I had with him for a year, just enjoying that moment of being his teammate, conversing with him every single day, learning from him every single day.

The personal impact KG has had on me is life-changing. He's been the most important piece to my career in the NBA and one of the best friendships I have in my life. So I'm always blessed to say that he's my brother. We bonded so well because of how passionate and emotional we both are.

Other than basketball, I just come to KG for advice on life, just understanding how business works and understanding how I can be a better leader and also be a better human being.

I think the biggest thing with me is that I just pride myself on being the best human being I can be.

I just feel that if you're the best human being, God will bless you with success.

I love playing all types of games. I'll play everything, and the best thing is that 'Call of Duty' is dipping their hand in the battle royale genre. Anytime 'Call of Duty' puts their hands on anything, you know it's going to be the highest quality, so I expect nothing less of 'Call of Duty,' and they're delivering.

I'd even say possibly I'm one of the best gamers in the NBA. I play everything. I play every single type of genre game.

That's why esports is so awesome: it's just like professional sports.
