I actually grew up in Europe half my life. Then Canada, then the States.

It was my mom who pushed me. My mom actually pushed my dad to train me. My dad knows what it takes to play at this level and be a really good basketball player, and he just wanted me to make the choice for myself.

I love playing at Madison Square Garden.

I think everybody's goal is to make the NBA. My goal is to be a star.

Whenever I can put a fresh, clean suit on, I'm like a peacock. That's my most confident moment.

I've always wanted to be No. 1.

My dad went to the Olympics, so he has that one over me. So if I go there, I'm pretty sure he has nothing to say anymore.

I'm a LeBron guy, so anywhere he goes that's my team.

If you can do your thing on a big stage, it helps, but then to do it against guys that are older than you still gives me confidence that all the hard work I'm putting in is really working and I just got to keep getting better.

Any time you meet a great successful player, a successful star, it's just an honour to be in their presence.

I just like chilling with my friends, playing 'NBA 2K' and stuff.

With my dad, when I was growing up I saw the amount of work that he put in.

There's always people coming behind trying to take your spot and I don't want anyone to take my spot.

I just see the ball and I go for it. It's wanting to make a winning play for the team and get a rebound.

When you put pressure on the paint, you not only score but you force the whole defense to collapse and you can make easy plays to hit shooters.

My dad played in so many places, so I got to learn from so many other guys and they get to teach me.

The way I operate is I want to win, so I'll do whatever.

I want to be that guy who comes to mind when you think of Canadian basketball one day.

There's always going to be something. Can't be perfect.

I like lows because you can only go up from there.

It's the NBA summer league and everyone's out there fighting. It's been a great experience for me.

I'd love to go to a Giants game.

I just go and play basketball. All the media stuff, it's about looking forward to playing the game I love.

Basketball is fun. It's what I love to do. You got to have fun with it.
