I've always gotten doubled. Coming off the bench, people try to eliminate bench scorers, so that's been my experience for years now. You just find ways to beat it.

A.I. didn't ask me to do a bunch of stuff for him. He just wanted me around. Usually we were at the Friday's in Philly, which he should have bought, because he was there so much.

Even though I've been tagged as a scorer and a guy who shoots a lot, I'm a guy that makes the best plays that I possibly can.

I've always said to my teammates that 'two points is two points, whether it's yours or mine.'

I enjoyed my time in Houston but it was short-lived and it really didn't make a huge impression on my life.

I always said if I had a son, I was going to give him a unique name.

The Rockets paid a healthy price for Chris Paul.

I'm kind of arrogant and cocky when I play... It's kind of weird. It's like I have split personalities.

Repetitions - I think that's one of the best ways during the season to maintain something or get better at it, is just to do it over and over.

I'm an Atlanta guy. I think Philly knows that. But I've adopted Philly as my second home, and they've embraced me.

I've had very supportive teammates.

Whenever I'm out on the basketball court, I lace up and just hoop. Whether it's in summertime, at practice, in the games, playoffs, every time I step out on the basketball court, I approach it the same way.

I grew up in Memphis, Tennessee. Big time blues and music city. It's always been in my bloodline.

I've never been a follower, but I've been an admirer.

I don't like idle time.

Kobe Bryant is a walking stat himself. He doesn't have to explain what he brings to the table.

Every 10 years the game changes.

I like to lead by example. I like to lead by my actions.

When you play in Toronto you feel like you're playing overseas. We can't wait to go on the road sometimes just to be in America.

I don't sleep much. I think it's hereditary. My mom doesn't sleep. My dad never slept. My naps are definitely when I get the most sleep. I'm a big napper - that's when I get most of my sleep.

When people treat you well, you just want to transfer it back over.

I've always had jewelry over the years, but when it comes to clothes, I'm just a white or black Polo tee guy with some jeans and a pair of Jordans, and I'm cool. As long as I'm comfortable, I'm cool.

Some guys like to eat two or three different times a day before the game. I eat once, and that's it.

You know what, Kawhi talks the most in our group chat. The dude is a leader.

I think as competitors, that's why we get into this, to gain respect from the guys who have played the game, and you walk away and they say, 'He was a tough cover - that dude was nice.'

It doesn't really matter to me whether you start or not. I play a lot of fourth quarters. I think that's what's most important to me. I think that's what I've always cared about, just having an opportunity to finish games when it's really winning time.

A lot of the stories I got on A.I., I can't say publicly. Overall, I just really appreciated how he went about going into games. He got a lot of flak for the 'practice' comment, but every game, he gave it his all.

You can go to war at 18, so you should be able to make a living at 18, especially if college isn't what you see for yourself.

Never give up. That's my Clippers story, never give up.

Greatness is contagious.

I always have these debates with my friends, I was like 'can you imagine dropping LeBron in '75?' and I was like 'bro he'd win 15 championships in a row.'

I don't make a decision till I see fit. That's why I'm so effective. My mind isn't predetermined.

I try to be the best old head I can be.

I'm just a baller. This is something I love to do and was probably born to do.

In the summertime you'll find me back home in Atlanta, in the gym playing against whoever walks in that day.

If you think that I got to come off the bench, then I am going to put you in a position to try to prove you wrong. Then after a while, it was kind of fun, and over the years it was my makeup.

I'm not a flopper. I hate when people say I'm a flopper. I don't flop. You never see me flying all over the floor. None of that. I barely fall down in games.

In the NBA they've taken away so much of the hand-checking and the physicality of how guys are able to guard you. So if you touch me, I'm gonna throw the ball toward the rim and get shots.

If you hit me, I'm gonna try to shoot the ball and get two free throws.

I'd never seen my father stand up. As far as I can remember, my father was always in a wheelchair. I always remembered that. And I remember my first basketball game, ever, he rolls into the gym, he stays by the door and he watches me play. And that was the only game he ever saw me play because he passed away shortly after that.

I played varsity in high school as a 9th grader. I came off the bench during the first game of the season and had 25 points. Well, I became a starter after that and in the second game I scored 53 points.

Every time I'd ever stepped on a basketball court, AAU, middle school, high school, I always thought about the NBA.

A lot of guys ask me, 'Why did you go straight from high school to the NBA?' So I ask them, 'If you had the opportunity to take your dream job at 17- or 18-years-old, would you do it?'

I want a real opportunity to win a championship.

Sometimes I just think we get caught up in the entertainment aspect of this business and people kind of forget that this is the way we feed our families and this is our livelihoods.

Once you're there, you'll love playing for the Raptors and love playing for the country, but by the fourth or fifth month into the season, you're just like damn man, I wanna go home.

I was raised in a musical house. Marvin Gaye. Boyz II Men. Jodeci. My mom always played that Toni Braxton song, 'Un-Break My Heart.' When I hear that song, it still puts me right back in the car with her.

The structure of college basketball never made sense to me. The coach is the star and you get up at 5:30 A.M. to run before class. That was never appealing to me.

I didn't even care where I was drafted.

You have all the ambition of winning a championship and competing in your hometown. For me, it didn't work out that way.
