Everything in my life happens really fast.

When I started playing ball as a junior, I'm kind of glad that I was never good enough to be highly recruited.

I'm competitive, and I think everybody knows that if you're talking trash, you're gonna get a reaction out of me.

I do like to be shirtless.

The first time I watched basketball was in 2010.

I started liking basketball when I was 13, but I couldn't play because my dad thought it was too physical.

When I play '2K,' I'll play in GM mode. And I choose different teams. But I always trade for myself because I'm unstoppable. Literally there's no way to stop me in '2K.'

I see a lot of athletes that don't really use social media, or they're saying the same stuff. I kind of wanted to change the game.

I always thought that the U.S. was just amazing, and it was just a dream. I thought it was Heaven. Coming here a couple years ago, you know, the U.S. is still nice, but it's not like what I thought it was going to be.

I feel like racism isn't over.

My very first scrimmage at Kansas, I got dunked on so hard by Tarik Black that I almost quit. Tarik dunked on me so hard that I was looking at plane tickets home. This guy was a senior. He was a grown man. I didn't know what was going on. He got his own rebound and dunked over me so hard that everything went in slow motion.

Chinese fans are just passionate about the game. The love they have is just insane.

I found social media was a way for me to open up and show the world who I was and also keep my name out there.

Having your teammates' backs - that's what I feel being a leader is.

I like playing on the road and quieting the crowd. I love it.

All of the great big men went to college at least two or three years. I think it's a big factor. I don't know if it will always work, but I think it's the best choice.

The Process is never going to end.

I started playing basketball so late, it just means that anything is possible.

I think of myself as a complete player.

I always think about myself as, like, a regular person. I want to be able to enjoy everything.

When I was visiting schools, I wanted to go and see what they got. After my visit, I knew that Kansas was good.

I love when people tell me that I was gonna be a bust. I enjoy when people tell me, 'You suck. You can't dribble. You can't shoot,' because it's like, gotta go to the gym.

I wanted to become president, and I wanted to become an astronaut. Because I was really good at math.

I love when guys come at the beginning of the game and start talking trash. It gets me going.
