When teams are really out on me, I'm trying to drag them out as much as possible so my teammates can make plays.

Change is very scary.

I knew I'm a hard worker and always wanted to be great at this game.

My favorite player is Carmelo; that's just a guy I've been rocking with since he was at Syracuse. I've always been a big fan of Melo.

Without New York, I wouldn't be the person I am today.

Troy Daniels is pretty good dresser.

Jeremy Lamb is a great dancer.

I love the Hornets' colors.

What's going on in my life, I never bring it to the basketball court.

I go hard each and every day.

There's something to be said for being on a team for your whole career. Not many players have done that. Only a select few. That's a goal to accomplish.

For me, I love competing.

I want to be in the playoffs every year.

I couldn't care less about big markets. That's not who I am.

There were times I didn't know if I even belonged in the NBA. Everyone at this level is so good - bigger, stronger, faster.

I dress myself. I don't feel any pressure to dress. I like what I like.

I felt like the best player on the court every night in college.

They usually say as you get older, you can't get better, but that's not true. I'm living proof.

I'm not supposed to be here. A lot of people from where I'm from don't make it.

Now I'm just a threat. I'm a threat out there. Guys are running out at me, and I'm able to either give them a pump fake or let it fly. Guys are going over the screens, and I'm able to get into the lane and find my teammates a lot better. It just makes things a lot easier for me.

I'm from a rough place: the Bronx.

Playing in an NBA game in Africa will be a special moment I'll remember for the rest of my life.

People should have the chance to say whatever they want, especially a guy like LeBron. He's huge, an icon. He should have an opinion if he wants to.

I love Charlotte. I'm more reserved and calm and laid back, and this city is slow.
