I like playing in front of the crowd and get them into it.

I'm not cocky, I'm humble, but I think I can be really special, one of the top players in the league.

I always dream about that type of moment. In my head, I always kind of create that scenario, just about, like, some type of winning shot or block that's going to, like, really get the crowd into it.

I don't like to be involved in front-office stuff.

Basketball has given me everything, but it has to be bigger than basketball. That was the first thing that I said to Under Armour, and they were behind it 100 percent. This isn't about a shoe deal.

You know how I learned to shoot? I watched white people. Just regular white people. They really put their elbow in and finish up top. You can find videos of them online.

I don't really care about the friendships on the court. I got my friends. I got my family, which I'm close to. I got a couple of friends that I'm always around.

Every time, the mindset I get when I get on the floor is that I'm the best player on the floor.

It's just about working on everything, perfecting everything, like my 3-point shot or ball handling.

I want to get in there and jump in the stands and dive for every loose ball.

Agents recruiting high-school players and talking to high-schoolers - I feel like those are the people who put bad ideas in kids.

I feel like Americans don't really have any idea of what's going on in the world, especially us Africans. I feel like when they think about Africans, they think about just us running around with lions and tigers and all those other animals.

There's definitely a lot of undiscovered talent in Africa. If I'm one of them and there's a few other guys in the league, that means that there must be some that are hidden.

That's the whole point of playing basketball - having fun.

It's basketball; it's always good to blow a team out.

I had this DVD that my coach in Cameroon had mailed to me when I first came to America. It was an hour-long tape of Hakeem Olajuwon and some other legendary big men. I probably watched that DVD every single day for three years.

I want to win.

I want to have a lot to do with winning a championship or bringing a championship back to the city of Philadelphia.

A lot of people just think I'm a big man, but I'm a basketball player. I am able to do everything that a basketball player can do - from playmaking and scoring to just passing the ball and just being a leader and post presence.

I feel like I am the best defensive player in the league.

When I was still back in Cameroon, because I didn't know English, I used to listen to French rap all the time and then a little bit of American hip-hop. And then, when I got to the States, that's when I really got into all those guys - Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, all those guys.

I want to be that type of guy - I want to be Kobe Bryant. I want to be Tim Duncan. I want to be Dirk Nowitzki - stay with one team my whole career.

I'm really not an injury-prone player. I just had that one injury that took, like, two years.

If I'm not making plays, I can't get the crowd going. When I'm making plays, that's where I can feel a vibe and can get into it with the crowd.
