I'm excited to contribute towards U.S.A. Basketball's winning legacy and continuing its tremendous reputation around the world.

The opportunity to represent my country at the Olympic Games is one of the greatest honors I've experienced in my career.

I'm all about being a role model to kids. I enjoy doing it, and I like putting smiles on kids' faces.

If I can help a kid in any type of way or make their lives easier, I'm always down for it.

Very proud of where I'm from, very proud of what I've been through.

I love giving local kids and families the chance to experience Kings basketball for the first time.

I get the chance to play for my country. That's the biggest stage. It's an honor for me.

I know my mindset. I know how hard I work at my craft.

I'm going to make the best decision for me, and I believe teams are going to do the same thing.

D.C. basketball has adopted me, and I consider D.C. home.

I don't think anyone can stop me one on one, period.

One of my biggest fears is to be proven wrong by somebody that doesn't agree with me or doesn't have my best interest at heart. With that being said I'm always seeking to prove those types of people wrong.

I'm comfortable in my skin.

I am who I am. You can either love it or hate it.

I can remember games where the crowd was the reason we won it. It's well known the Kings have incredible fans.

When you have a cop approaching your car with his hand on his gun, I know it may be protocol, but us being the people we are, you automatically feel as if you're a criminal. So where's the respect then? You probably won't respond the correct way. So how do we find a common ground then?

Some of my technicals, I don't even understand. I see some of those technicals other players get, and I compare them to mine and they're completely unfair.

I'm just a basketball player. There's so much I can do on the floor.

I don't really consider myself a center.

I know I've done bad things. But I've done just as much good as I have done bad. And it's not even necessarily bad. I would say they're growing pains.

I got drafted at 19. I've got millions of dollars in my pocket, I could have lost my damn mind. I don't see how you could consider me immature.

I'm a guy that a lot of people look up to. I haven't always handled situations the right way. That's why I have to continue to grow and be a better player, a better leader.

I grew up in a household where we watched a lot of comedy. It's just something I've always enjoyed.

If you were to ask me, I think my jersey will be hanging in the rafters when I retire in Sacramento.
