Guys are coming into the league a little more mature when they take the three or four years in college.

I think just consistency. That's the hardest thing to do in this league, especially for a rookie. There are going to be ups and downs.

I love being around kids. When I see a kid that wants to talk to me or wants my autograph, I see myself in them. I just want to be a good example and be very approachable and want them to know that I'm just a regular guy, too.

If you have an open shot, and you're a shooter, and you've put hours and hours on the practice court shooting the ball, you shoot the ball in the game. It's just that simple.

There are going to be ups and downs, but you have to have a steady mindset, regardless of the situation you're in.

Things aren't always going to go your way. You wake up one day, and things are rough. But then you wake up the next day, and things are going great.

I had a pretty bad injury the end of my freshman year in college, and that taught me just to be patient.

I think winning games is my biggest asset, knowing how to win.

As a three shooter, seeing one go through the net, that's all you need to just be shooting it confidently again.

My grandparents really wanted me to go to Harvard. They thought that was writing your ticket for the future. How could I turn that down? But my mom knew I needed a balance. She knew that I loved basketball.

I didn't party. I didn't go out. I didn't really hang out with friends as much as other guys.

I know we have a lot of poverty and we have a lot of problems over here in the U.S., but for me, I've been outside the country, and that's really where my heart is - to help others outside.

I think Africa is the most interesting continent on the planet. You look at a country like Egypt, and you look at a country like Ghana. It's just completely different, and the people look completely different. It's just a fascinating continent with the most culture.

I think a lot of the problem with foreign aid and things like that is you go in, give a bunch of stuff, and then it runs out. It's about helping them learn how to continue to be sustainable and live.

I wasn't sure how it would unfold once I got to the NBA, but I knew if I got to the NBA, I could then have the platform and have the resources and the connections and the people around me that had more connections and more resources to help me really impact a lot of people's lives.

Being raised, I think, in a household where your parents really taught you never to let people see you sweatin' - that's the motto I live by.

I stay in character at all times regardless of whoever's playing well, the team isn't playing well. if we're up or down, I'm going to stay in character.

I'm not a guy who really gets nervous.

My parents never planted the seed that anything was impossible. They planted the seed that things were doubly hard for a black man. My brothers and I made sure we outworked people and were better than everyone we were around.

I have great memories from childhood. Of course, the divorce, when I was 11, was tough. But my mom, especially, did a great job in raising us.

Soccer is still my favourite sport.

Kaepernick is a hero.

Giannis is selfless.

The big thing that Giannis brings to the game for us is pace, being able to get up and down the floor and play fast. We got to continue to do that and not lose momentum when he comes out of the game.
