Basketball Player

The quicker you can establish roles, the better chance you have of being a successful team.

I like being on good teams.

Few big men have possessed the rare combination of power, speed and agility of Shaq.

I would say players have utmost respect for James Harden. For one, he's improved every year, and also, for me, as a shooter, he gets his shooters involved.

James Jones being a player, a champion, one thing that you knew about him that was really good was his work ethic.

You can't get discouraged when you lose games because basketball is such a process and so much happens during each practice and game.

I feel like I'm going to have a long career and you don't want to get a bad reputation for certain things.

When you start hitting some shots, you build some confidence.

I definitely think I'm kind of more of an East Coast player than a West Coast player. But I knew at a young age, too, that if I didn't get a scholarship that I was going to go to prep school.

There are going to be fans who say rude, disrespectful things.

What Steve Nash and Chris Paul do is they kind of hide your weaknesses.

Amar'e and Nash are perfect in the pick and roll - Stockton and Malone types.

Communication is crucial. That's why young teams aren't usually good because their communication's not good because they're not confident in the communication.

I pride myself on being someone who does the little things and works hard.

You know how you toilet paper and egg somebody's house? I did it, right? But I did it back-to-back nights, Saturday and Sunday. They called the police. Good thing nobody got arrested but that was something embarrassing and stupid. Why would you do the same house twice? It was ridiculous.

When you look up the definition of 'superstar' in the dictionary, there should be a picture of Shaquille O'Neal.

You want to help your teammates.

When you win and you shoot badly, it doesn't really matter. Stats and all the other stuff doesn't matter.

I'm trying to get an internship at the ESPYS. I'd like to do interviews on the red carpet.
