I've got a long way to go to being the ultimate best, but I think my time is now. And I'm starting to enter my prime.

You sacrificed for us - you're the real MVP.

So many people doubted me. They motivated me every single day, to be, who I am.

In the game of basketball, I play first off because I love it. I love to have fun. I love to run up and down the court.

I didn’t fall in love with it just because it was me playing. I fell in love with it because I’ve got guys like this – like these guys every single day that push me to be the best that I can be.

Whoever want my spot can play me one-on-one for it.

The grass is not always greener on the other side. You learn to appreciate these people.

First off, I'd like to thank God for changing my life. It let me really realize what life is all about. Basketball is just a platform for me to inspire people, and I realize that.

This city, all they want us to be is ourselves. You love us how we are. We’re all a work in progress as men and you still love us and I thank you so much for embracing us.

Last, I just want to thank God again. He's the first and the last. Alpha and Omega. I thank you for saving my life.

The problem with trying hard not to think about something was that you thought about it even more.

What we love we may also despise.

Sleep is God. Go worship.

You can either give in to negative feelings or fight them and I'm of the belief that you should fight them.

My father believed very strongly in Ataturk. Ataturk was a very powerful man and a man of great vision.

All my adult life, if I didn't have several hours a day to sit in a room by myself, I would get antsy and irritable.

If you want to be a leader, go lead

Regarding drugs: just the existence of drugs seems troubling to me.
