I don't think about drawing the contact on purpose. I just want to get to the line.

Playing 16 years is completely unexpected and going through everything we went through. Big disappointments, huge wins, creating that type of union with the coaching staff, with the front office, with the staff, teammates. It's been an amazing journey, way beyond anything that can be expected.

Even the bad moments, the tough ones, I'm proud of them, too. Those moments get you better, smarter, make you grow.

I've never been a great shooter. I'm not a regular foreigner player.

I just consider myself a player, a team player.

I been asked about my legacy and I really don't care much about the legacy.

I know I'm not the most orthodox kind of player. I just feel normal being like that.

I help my team win. That's overall what I do best. If you watch me play, I'm usually going to be on the winning team. Whether it's scoring enough points or rebounding enough or guarding the best player on the other team, I'm gonna do what it takes to win.

The better the competition is, the more skilled guys are, the more fundamental you have to be.

I think teams make the same decisions every year based on the same information and based on the same decision-making. I think a lot of it is flawed, but it's the way they draft.

I see guys like Colin Kaepernick in the NFL. Guys like Marshawn Lynch, they're sitting down; they're making statements. They're standing up for what they believe in, and I think it's terrific.

I'm not flashy. I'll do nice things on the floor, but I'm not going to do the really impressive dunk or make the really impressive block. I think that's what fans enjoy most about coming to basketball games, but that's not what I provide night in, night out.

For me, keeping it simple is the best way to live life, to not complicate things, to sort of keep things in perspective.

I'm a guy that tries to eat right. I try to keep my body right. I try to do all the right things. But like everybody else, I have flaws. I slip up. I eat the wrong things sometimes. I have cheat days. I think I make mistakes just like everybody else, but I try to minimize them.

My game from college has translated into the pros.

I always look forward to playing great players, great scorers, because I pride myself on my defense.

I'm a guy that's all about not trying to take the easy way out or get out of things too early.

In my family, graduating and getting your bachelor's is just the beginning. It's only expected. You're underachieving if you don't strive for more than that.

I don't think any other college coach could have prepared me as well as Coach Bennett, just in terms of mental toughness, being able to grasp concepts and retain information.

Guys are coming into the league a little more mature when they take the three or four years in college.

I think just consistency. That's the hardest thing to do in this league, especially for a rookie. There are going to be ups and downs.

I love being around kids. When I see a kid that wants to talk to me or wants my autograph, I see myself in them. I just want to be a good example and be very approachable and want them to know that I'm just a regular guy, too.

If you have an open shot, and you're a shooter, and you've put hours and hours on the practice court shooting the ball, you shoot the ball in the game. It's just that simple.

There are going to be ups and downs, but you have to have a steady mindset, regardless of the situation you're in.
