I think college has helped me.

Thanks to the great fans of Milwaukee. Their work ethic truly inspires me every night.

I think who I am on the court is who I am in person.

I knew who I was coming into the NBA, so I knew what I could contribute to a team, and I just had a high level of confidence in myself and what I could do.

I think my play will talk for me, It will show people, and it will show the league.

It differs from game to game, how aggressive I should be.

I think it speaks a lot to Coach Kidd and my teammates to trust me as a rookie to make plays down the stretch. When they put that confidence in you, it's hard not to try to make plays.

Starting you automatically gets into your rhythm faster. Coming off the bench, you're colder; it can be harder at times.

When you're getting an opportunity and playing well, that's all you can ask for.

My whole career, I've been an underdog, I've been underestimated. Therefore, I've had a chip on my shoulder my entire career. Being drafted in the second round when you think you're supposed to be in the first round, a lottery pick, the chip grows bigger. And you have more to prove.

For me, personally, I feel like that's my duty while I'm on this earth is to serve others and use my blessing to bless others. If I'm not doing that, I feel like I'm not serving my purpose. That's my goal, that's my passion, and that's what I intend to do for the rest of my life.

I saw from a very young age the value of clean water in communities in Africa. I made a promise to myself that once I reached a time and place in my career where I could do more, I would.

When you have a coaching change, when you have trades, an injury, when you have all these things happening - these are all things that are out of your control. Quickly, you start to understand that, really, the only thing you can control is going out and playing hard every night and being ready for your opportunity.

When you bring a winner onto your team, he knows how to win, he's going to help your team win, and that's the goal at the end of the day.

I don't pay attention to what people think. I don't really care what people think. All that matters is my teammates and my coaches.

I've been a bit surprised, and encouraged, by the NBA's support for athletes that speak out. Compared to the NFL, it's night and day.

I've heard a lot about what second-round picks usually do - whether it's D-League or whether it's not playing - but for me, I have high expectations of myself regardless of where I'm picked.

It takes experience to get through your lows.

I know what my role is.

I think, at heart, I'm a leader.

Before I came to Milwaukee, I'd heard the city was the most segregated in the country. I'd heard it was racist. When I got here, it was extremely segregated. I've never lived in a city this segregated.

When guys were going out to parties, I was going to the gym. I figured, for all my mom sacrificed for me, it was the least I could do.

In college, I prided myself on defense and guarding the best player every night.

Everybody has losses, and sometimes they're worse than others, but you can always bounce back.
