Something like missing a shot, and the next play you're thinking about it, or you give up a play on defense and you're thinking about it, you're frustrated about it, what's happening is that you're really thinking about yourself. You're not connected to the team. And you have to be connected, or those few plays add up.

Duke has a lot of haters, but I know it means you're doing something right if they're hating you.

Grayson Allen

The thing that you don't understand about college basketball until you're one or two seasons in - and something I've struggled with - is that you have to be 100 percent connected to your other four guys on the court at all times.

I don't feed off of the boos, I don't feed off anything like that... No one likes to get booed, no one likes to get cussed out, no one likes to get yelled at by 20,000 fans when you go places.

Grayson Allen

I learned how to prepare like a pro, how to recover like a pro, how to live like a pro while at Duke.

Grayson Allen

When I'm playing timid and afraid to make a mistake, then I'm not going to play well.

Grayson Allen

As a basketball player, you want to play. There's only so much stuff I can go over doing one-on-one drills in practice and watching the team and watching film.

Grayson Allen

I've come to learn that you could read through one hundred things, ninety of them could be positive, those ten negative ones are the ones you're going to remember, that are going to stand out.

In a lot of ways I would love to be another student and love to be looked at as a Duke student and a senior and psych major and someone on the basketball team instead of Duke's polarizing, lightning rod, Grayson Allen villain, all those types of things.

Grayson Allen

If I was doing something that I really, really enjoyed I want to be perfect at it and not make mistakes and do everything right. And when inevitably I made mistakes, because that's what humans do, I would get very angry, very disappointed, very discouraged.

Grayson Allen

In high school I would use that total defeat that I felt in any type of mistake to go to the gym. That's what made me such a hard worker.

Grayson Allen

Getting a degree from Duke University is an amazing accomplishment for me.

Grayson Allen

I really loved all my time at this university and so I hope it's seen how much I appreciate Duke. Not only playing basketball for Duke, but being a student at Duke, and I really am thankful for my time here.

Grayson Allen

I found my identity in Christ. When everything else around me was falling down I found my identity in God.

Grayson Allen

I play the game for the love that's in my heart, and as long as that's still there, I can go out there with nothing to fear.

Grayson Allen

I found the love that all my teammates had for me. I found the love that this Duke family, this Duke coaching staff, had for me. That's what sticks out to me because I know who I am today.

Grayson Allen

You probably know me best as a 4 year player, national champion, and graduate of Duke University, but I'm also a gamer, student, Christian, and a long time redditor.

Grayson Allen

Marshall Plumlee. One of the weirdest/greatest guys I've met.

Grayson Allen

I'm a firm believer that when something feels right, you go with it.

Grayson Allen

I love being a Duke student, and continuing to be part of the university culture is something I don't take for granted.

Grayson Allen

Competitiveness that I've had as a player, competitiveness that was pointed in the wrong direction and went over the line. It's obviously something that I needed to work on and address.
