The thing in basketball is you always want to be free. I don't want to be hugged up to my guy. When we're body to body, I want to control you.

In basketball, there's a lot of pushing, grabbing, and shoving going on that nobody else sees. That's why I'm training with MMA fighter Donald 'Cowboy' Cerrone.

If you have less games, less back-to-backs, the product's better. The fans will appreciate it more. You see those college guys playing so hard, but they play 36 games in the same amount of time we play 82 almost.

The thing about the max is, you're worth whatever somebody is willing to pay you, in my mind.

Sometimes you get the rap of, 'Don't always play hard,' or, 'Just doing it for the money.' But there are guys that genuinely love the game of basketball and are always playing it and are always out there. There are guys that work hard and actually understand the game and are very knowledgeable off the court as well.

I think the worst thing that's happened to sports is 'sources say.'

The first laugh is always key. I've done some improv stuff. Once you get your first laugh, you're good. Up until that point, it's a little nerve-racking.

I don't go into a situation trying to knock somebody over. It's just the way I play: physical.

It was funny to hear that I'd slapped Bieber. I thought it was a joke. Then it blew up. I probably got 50 texts about it.

Before a game, I prefer R&B and stuff that calms me down, like the Weeknd.

I was raised in a Christian household and went to a Christian high school, so I believe in creationism, for sure.

I'm a competitor.
