When you play a team sport all your life, you need to get out there sometimes and show some individualism in a sport where you play against the nature.

First of all my golfing experience spans all corners of the World - Brazil, New Zealand, L.A. And I think the best place is when you play with friends. I particularly enjoy playing golf with my best friend, former Manchester United player Dwight Yorke. It is the best experience when we can get together on a golf course.

I like being different.

The Duke family, those are my brothers, and it's something I'll always take with me. Coach K, he gives me a lot of motivational things and checks in on me and my family. He knows where my heart is.

I think anybody would want to be compared to Kevin Durant.

I think if you can score the ball, you can play at any level.

You're always becoming; you've never arrived. And I use that day by day just for me to work hard each and every day, and know that no matter how good I worked out today, no matter how good I thought I was today, I can always get better and always be a better person.

Even Coach K thinks he can be a better coach each and every day.

I've always been a shooter.

My decision to go to Duke wasn't a surprise to people who really knew me because I was always a Duke fan growing up.

That's all I seek every practice and every game, to progress in some way, be coachable and try to be the best I can be for my teammates.

If you're not trying to win, there's no point in playing.

If you can score the ball, it doesn't really how big or small you are.

I feel like I'm a competitor. I hate to lose.

There are no other Kobe Bryants.

I think I can do everything on the basketball floor. I just gotta be consistent in what I do.

I just want to be better. Of course, I'm not satisfied... I'm just pushing every day.

I have the same routine every day just to make me a better basketball player, and I'm going to continue the routine just to see where it gets me and how I can reach my potential.

When you want to play basketball and you get paid for playing basketball, you want to do it every single day. So I don't think I'll get tired of doing it.

Playing one year under Coach K feels like you've played for three years. I learned so much from him; gained a lot of wisdom and knowledge from him.

I don't do anything else but play basketball.

I grew up being a Kobe fan, of course.

I try to make a name off someone before they make a name off me.

Versatility is very important in the modern game.
