I don't think the Lakers really knew me when they first drafted me. They just saw my name and my size and my stats. They just picked somebody because they had to.

It's important as an athlete to know your body and how things affect it.

In any relationship, there's multiple moving pieces. Not just one.

My grandma used to have a backyard and we put a hoop, a shaky hoop, up there. We used to just shoot at it. We shot at it so many times, we broke it. We had to get a better one, because that one wasn't good at all.

People say, 'Well, you're not Pau's little brother anymore.' I'm always going to be Pau's younger brother and Adria's older brother.

It's hard for me to sit still in one place. I like to move around.

The architecture in Barcelona is very unique, and I think it's something to truly spend some time getting to know all the cool places.

I don't read the papers. I don't want to read what the press says.

I think you could say that, a lot of players are insecure and sometimes we have this shield around us that we don't want to accept that we have problems sometimes or we don't know how to do things because we're these superheroes.

I'm somebody that sets goals, enjoys the preparation and the planning to achieve those goals, and then really enjoys going through that plan really disciplined and achieving those goals... I enjoy the whole process. If you fail, you can backtrack and see, 'OK, that didn't go well, let's try something else and let's go that other route.'

Before being an athlete, I'm a person, a human being, like the ones Open Arms are saving every day.

I am a father. I have children.

When people know that you're going to give them the ball where they want it, then they're going to try to do the same thing for you. And then, they're going to play hard defensively.

If you grow the food you eat, it tastes better. Seasonal vegetables are grown at the right time, and you can make sure everything matures on the plant or on the tree. It's as fresh as you can get.

With years, you change. You're not as hardheaded or stubborn. You are more malleable.

I'm a big Quentin Tarantino fan.

It's a thing I have to continually do, taking care of my body.

Everybody has goals, dreams, whatever you want to call it. But are you willing to pay? You have to be honest with yourself: What do I need to do every day to reach those goals and achieve the level that I want, not only for yourself but also for the team?

We're humans, and we're moved by emotions.

When you accomplish something, or you don't accomplish something, automatically your brain goes to the next challenge. That's your next focus.

You always have something. You always have a challenge.

When you grow tomatoes, you're going to get a lot of tomatoes. So you want to learn how to preserve.

Pau has a game that's impossible to imitate. He's so finesse and so skilled, it's impossible to imitate. Honestly, I'm a big fan of the game. I've never seen a player his size who has so many moves, so many counters and it's impossible. His length, his size, his skills - I mean, you can't teach that.

Different coaches have different schemes, so for me, it's about learning and being able to adjust and adapt to these coaches. It fills your toolbox.
