I can be a little cocky.
The things that Dirk has done for this league and for the Dallas Mavericks, it's unbelievable. And Coach Kidd was a teammate of Dirk, so for Jason Kidd to compare me with Dirk Nowitzki, it feels nice. It's a nice compliment.
When I was young and I could dream a bit, I could see myself participating in the slam dunk contest. I've always wanted to experience that.
Because my parents were illegal, they couldn't trust anybody. They were always nervous. A neighbor could be like, 'These people are making too much noise, their children are making too much noise,' and the cops could knock at our door and ask for our papers, and that's it. It's that simple. So you're always a little closed.
It starts with my family. That drives me every day, just seeing them smiling.
Me and my mother, we both love Eddie Murphy.
My favorite movie is 'Coming to America' by Eddie Murphy.
I want to become one of the best players, so if you want to be one the best, you have to elevate all aspects of your game.
It's my nature to be fearless.
I don't like all these flashy cities like L.A. or Miami. I don't know if I could be the same player if I played in those cities.
I'm gonna have some nights when it's not gonna come. But if you keep playing natural, it's just gonna come. I'm gonna keep getting better, keep getting better, and one day, everything's gonna pay off.
I'm a guy who doesn't really care about glamour and big markets; I like to be home all day.
With back-to-backs, a lot of games, sometimes you think, 'I've got to take a day off today.' But you have to push through it. The greats did.
I just try to stay grounded.
I know that guys can't guard me one-on-one.
Music is a huge part of my life when I am on the road, working out, or preparing for a game. It is something I always go back to, and it is something that motivates me. It gets me hype before a game.
LeBron James is one of the best players in the league - and one of the best players to ever play the game.
I watched a lot of Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson, Kevin Durant, and a lot of Paul Pierce. I used to watch Tracy McGrady as well along with Kevin Garnett.
I think my jump shot could get a lot, lot better. I could become a really big threat out there.
What's the reason I'm playing basketball? I do it because I love it, I do it because of my family, and that's it. I don't do it because of the money. I don't do it because of the fame. I just do it because I love it, and I do it for my family because my family enjoys it.
