The rules within the educational system really teach you not push the boundaries, or not to think outside the box. They teach you to think inwardly about what's in the box.

I see the NCAA holding off as long as possible to continue to make money off of its players. It's almost like modern day slavery.

I would love to see Cole Anthony go against Kyrie Irving.

I love to dress in Italian clean-cut three-piece suits.

I've been lucky enough with my NBA money to make some investments in some pretty cool things, whether it be partnering up with Ben Sturner and the Leverage Agency; being involved in an analytics company called Simatree; or creating a production company and working with brands and creating content in house.

When you're in the NBA, you think about playing time, how to make your coach happy or if you're winning. It really just took my focus off some of the most important things.

The only thing that can blow away the Michael Jordan sad face meme, is the Floyd Mayweather knockout meme. If Floyd Mayweather got knocked out - knocked out to the point where he is ice cold on the ground - I think that's the one meme that can just overwhelm the whole Jordan issue.

I can't imagine the difficulty of going from coaching a college team where you control your own environment to coming to a pro-style where the players control the environment.

I don't want to get into who's the No. 1 player. The player who is the most electrifying to me is Cole Anthony.

I've dreamed about being in the Final Four since I was a little boy.

I was a scorer in college. That was the one thing that I loved to do, I loved to score the basketball.

When you're at the bottom, everybody is taking shots at you. It's up to you to stay with it and fight through it.

Kyrie Irving, before he even played one game of college basketball, had 7,000 fans on Twitter. Seven thousand. So these kids these days are put on this pedestal up here. I really think it discourages the value of hard work and of patience.

I don't think forcing an athlete to stay in school does anything for the athlete.

There's nothing like watching basketball being played at its finest.

I've been lucky enough with my NBA money to make some investments in some pretty cool things, whether it be partnering up with Ben Sturner and the Leverage Agency; being involved in an analytics company called Simatree; or creating a production company and working with brands and creating content in house.

If I take five seconds to think about something on TV, that five seconds is an eternity.

The thing about being a kid is you're going to make mistakes in the heat of the moment.

If there is anything that my life has taught me is that life is unexpected and you're not always going to know the cards that you're going to be dealt.

I can't imagine the difficulty of going from coaching a college team where you control your own environment to coming to a pro-style where the players control the environment.
