With all the media attention, all the love from the fans, I felt I needed to prove myself. Prove that I'm not a marketing tool, I'm not a ploy to improve attendance. Prove I can play in this league. But I've surrendered that to God. I'm not in a battle with what everybody else thinks anymore.

I'm not like the next Michael Jordan, but I'm also not what everyone saw me as before I started playing in the NBA, either.

Tim Tebow is one of my biggest inspirations. I actually want to be able to do some of the things that he does in terms of the amount of charity work and the non-profit work, and the way he impacts people off the field. I think that is what is most inspiring to me about him.

You don't get better if you win all the time. You look at yourself more when you lose.

I just think in order for someone to understand my game, they have to watch me more than once, because I'm not going to do anything that's extra flashy or freakishly athletic.

I'm a playmaker. I'm always attacking the rim and have somewhat of a reckless style. I try to be everywhere at once.
