I'm in the search for the perfect game.

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

I've never felt like I've had a good game.

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.

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.

People who know me know I'm never satisfied.

I love the game so much, I just want to play every time I can.

I could care less about statistics. It's all about team success.

I do not know how it is to be a great player, to be a Hall of Famer. I want to learn.

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.

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.

I'm not too worried about points and all that stuff. It's about making the right play.

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.

When you have a player like Tyus Jones, instantly chemistry is made.

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.

I love that I will have the opportunity to connect further with my fans through 'MyNBA2K17.'

Playing 'MyNBA2K' and 'NBA2K' is an essential part of my offseason and keeps me grounded during the season with all my travel.

When we're doing everything we can to win, it's very fun.

Winning's always fun.

I think it's just fun when you're being competitive and when you're in the game and winning.

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.

You got to earn your buckets and earn your respect.

When everyone is buying into a system and puts their ego to the side, that's when greatness happens.

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.
