When you're off the court, that's when it's time to talk or whatever you want to do. But once it goes up, it's time to compete.

When I'm on the court, I just compete.

There's a lot of talented guys, but there's not a lot of guys that play the game that right way.

I don't feel like we have to be dirty or anything crazy, but as far as competing, there's no limits.

I want to improve my shooting, my free throw shooting, keeping my turnovers down.

I remember when I was a younger cat, I always thought the veteran guys talked too much.

When I had older guys around me, I kind of leaned on them for advice and went through tough times.

Star power is great, but at the end of the night, you need all 15 guys.

I play for myself, my family, and the fans.

Nothing happens overnight in this game.

One-on-one is different than actually going through picks, hitting the floor, playing 5-on-5, getting back in transition, making quick moves without thinking about it.

I can't remember one bad time I had in Boston as far as where I got negative feedback from fans, no matter the first year we lost 18 straight or the following year we won a championship.

There is no place on or off the court for language that disrespects anyone's sexual orientation. That is not who I am or what I believe, and I will strive every day to be a better person.

Hard work speaks for itself.

You can consider me stubborn, but I think I'm really intelligent.

When everyone touches the ball, it gives everyone energy, and that translates to the defensive end, where it all starts.

I don't want to be the hardest working guy in the gym.

That's what I'm a big believer in, giving everyone touches and energy on both ends of the floor.

When everyone touches the ball, it gives you energy and life on defense.

When you open the batting, you have to read the pitch first up and try to understand the situation. But at No. 3, you know what is happening out there. It makes things a little simple when it comes to reading the game.

I think the more you practise batting, follow the drills, the better you get.

I have learnt from many experienced players in the Mumbai team as well as the India A team how to be consistent. That helps a lot to ensure that I don't get into bad form.

It is a really proud feeling to get my first Test cap.

I look to gain experience wherever I play.
