I'm like a carnivore.

I just play basketball. That's me: all I know is basketball.

It's hard to say a favorite rapper. If I had to pick two, I'm going to go with Busta Rhymes and Jay-Z.

If you actually understand and listen to what he's saying, there's no one that can compete with Eminem. That's why no one goes at Eminem because everybody knows Eminem is just, he's too good in a rap battle.

Jay-Z just got that longevity. He can put out anything at any time and everybody will love it. He'll never get old.

You don't want to be the selfish point guard. You want to be the guy that gets everybody open, that makes plays, and see the ball move before it goes in.

I'm not just here to get a paycheck and leave. I'm here to be one of the greatest basketball players to ever play.

I played the two guard in college, and playing point guard is what I've done all my life.

In life, you find things that hold value to you. You find things to fight for.

Coming from Canada, I've always had people doubt me or doubt my ability. We're just going to keep letting our game talk.

I can't control what the other team's gonna feel. I'm just gonna go out there and hoop, and whoever takes it to heart and takes their losses salty, I can't do anything about that.

I just like competing.

I play with a lot of heart, play with a lot of passion. And when you're fighting for something, it means a whole lot more.

I believe I can score on anybody.

I just want to go to the right team. The team that wants me. The team that believes in my potential.

My dad taught me a lot of meditative techniques. I used that to my advantage.

As a child, I was competitive in whatever it was - first one to eat your wings, first one to run to the door. In everything we were competitive. I always wanted to have the edge.

You can't go into a game lax and acting like somebody isn't trying to beat you.

It doesn't matter who you're playing against. It's what you can do with your ability and what you believe in.

Bruce Lee took his craft very seriously, just as my dad took his stuff very seriously. I just loved Lee's attitude.

You want to make every shot, but it's not going to happen like that.

The fourth quarter is where players are made.

When you go to like the Nike Hoops Summit, or the All-Canadian Game, all those really matter in your development and how people perceive you as far as how good of a player you are.

Well, being at a big school, I had to perform every night. I had to deal with a lot of fans, media stuff, interactions, relationships, you know, just to build myself and show how much I care about Kentucky.
