I still run into a lot of people from Memphis, all around the NBA. I feel like they're with me every game. I feel their love, their support, their pushing. I know they still cheer for me. They let me know they cheer for me. And there's a part of them with me in every game I play.

Adjusting and evolving as a player and not being stuck in a certain way, I'm happy for those things.

There have been few players that haven't been traded over the years in the NBA.

My relationship with the Grizzlies might change, but my relationship with Memphis won't. What I feel inside and how I feel about Memphis and its people has nothing to do with a franchise or a temporary thing. It's not going to change.

That makes you a better player, when you go through the process of seeing what other teams are doing to you.

It's never just about one player. Together, you have to figure out other ways to score and get opportunities.

Nobody likes to see a coaching change during the season.

I fell asleep during the draft, actually. I woke up, and I was picked No. 48. I didn't even know what number I was picked.

As a tall guy, you always think the over-the-top pass is the easiest way out. But sometimes you can fake that, and throw it under their arms.

People think that a good passer is a flashy passer. But that's not a good pass. It's just a flashy pass. A good passer is someone who's gonna hit the guy right on the hands, and the timing is correct. You pass late, and it's not a good pass. You pass too early, it's not a good pass, either. If it's off-target, it's not a good pass.

There is no difference between the way we see basketball; the way we execute is a little bit different. The way he uses his right shoulder, drop-step to his left hand, is a thing of beauty. There is no doubt in my mind that Pau will be a Hall of Famer because of what he brought to the game, and there's no such players like him anymore.

I was never insecure. A lot of people ask me that - especially, did you feel pressure being Pau's brother? No, because I saw success through him. And I felt it. Because we're so close of a family, when he got recognition, I felt happy for him. I felt genuinely happy for him.

I can only control the way I play.

You read the play that's in front of you. You don't try to look back; you don't look forward. You deal with the game that you have in front of you.

The game comes natural for me.

I honestly don't see anything that extraordinary about my game.

I'm somebody that really locks in to play, and it's not easy to say hello to all the ushers and all the people who work around the team and then try to execute the game plan and beat the other team.

In the frenzy, roller coaster of the season, you can play up and play down. But if you're strong enough, you can change those habits and tendencies and make them into championship-type habits and tendencies. That doesn't guarantee you that you're going to win, but it gives you the best chance. That's all I can ask for. That's all I want.

We gotta educate the kids. You've got to do your job as a citizen, but the same time, you have to also give the tools to the society to learn and create their habits so it's a seamless transition to become a better society.

We gotta leave a better planet for our kids. And I would say we gotta leave better kids for our planet as well.

Going through processes as a team and getting better each and every night, that's what you do it for - to eventually win games as a group.

Once you work for your team-mates and help each other - thinking about them before you think about yourself - it always works out.

That's what the offseason is for, to work on your game.

It's not a lie that I'm a stronger guy than Pau. There's nothing wrong with that.
