You have to go through some things to get to where you want to go.

Texas A&M was always my biggest school.

You always want all of your sports teams at your school to do well.

Nothing has ever been given to me.

It's good that other teams want me, but I'll be more than happy to stay in Milwaukee.

I love challenges.

I was a three-star recruit, went to Texas A&M, and no one really talked about me there.

I know at times I'm going to have to just take the 3-ball when it's there instead of trying to get more to that midrange. But the midrange game is definitely one of my strong suits. I can't give that up.

I really wasn't a good defensive player at all.

If we want to win, we're not going to be able to go out on the court and say, 'My turn' or 'Your turn.' We're going to have to play together and sacrifice some shots, some ball touches, some minutes.

You've got to play hard every minute you're on the court.

It feels good to hit a shot; that's something you always dream about as a kid.

I think LeBron is the best player in the world, as far as overall in his career and what he's doing for this league on and off the court.

You can't stop great players. You can only make it tough on them.

Now, I'm not afraid. Or getting myself down about missing shots or missing an assignment late. The game goes on. You've got another chance. That's definitely a mental thing.

We had a lot of close games; we were losing games. Failing in those opportunities - when the game was close? And we needed a bucket or a stop? I wasn't able to come through. It's just... something that you get comfortable with as time goes on. You're OK with failing, as long as you're trying as hard as you can.

In the month of December, it was my ultimate mission to find and honor the special people in my cities and provide them with experiences they would never forget.

We can't take quarters, minutes, plays off.

We have to play a complete game.

Giannis is truly a student of the game. He listens to the coaches, they show him film, and he's always in the gym working on his game and trying to find ways to get better.

I think Giannis can be a LeBron-type player, like an all-world, Hall of Famer, MVP, legend, one of the best ever. He's doing the right things to put himself in that situation. I think he will get there.

Anytime you fall short with someone you've been with the whole time, you always ask yourself or ask the other partner, 'Can we do this?'

I developed my game a lot and learned how to score off the dribble. I learned how to play team defense and one-on-one defense.

If they focus on me too often, somebody's going to be wide open. It's all about playing together and playing as a team.

I just want to go out there and play hard every night and do my best.

Just knowing how to get to my spots - that's the key. Once I get to my main spots, I feel like I have a lot of options I can go to - keep on driving, pass, or shoot. I just feel like if I can get to those spots, I can play my game.

You can always get better with your ballhandling.

I'm not a guy who makes five or 10 moves. I'm just more of a simple, straight-line driver, just try to be crafty with my dribble and keep it tight.

I was born and raised in Charleston, SC.

I think mid-range shooters are hard to get to a lot of times. Guys are going at you all the way to the paint or looking to swat it at the 3-point line.

There aren't any negative thoughts about my time in Detroit; I just didn't play. Sometimes you have to go through that at different stages. I went through it during a tough period, my first year in the league, but it was a good year for me off the court.
