“I play harder when my family is watching.”

“Even when it’s midnight, people are watching you. It’s difficult to be in the spotlight all the time.”

“I’m fully aware that every time I do anything, good or bad, somebody’s watching.”

“I’m a point guard, I’ve always been a point guard, I’ve played point guard all my life. Personally, I feel the best point guards make other players look better and create their own shot. I fit in that category.”

“I’m never nervous. Not in high school, not in college. That’s just the way I am.”

“This is the way I always imagined it would be for me in the NBA. I’m playing with confidence that I haven’t played with since Colorado.”

“It’s all about guts. I’ve had so many ups and downs, I’m not scared of being down.”

“I’ve always believed in my abilities. Nobody ever gave me anything in life. I had to work for everything I got. It may have gotten really rocky for a while, but I persevered, because I’m not afraid of failing.”

“In the NBA, it’s about patience.”

“This is a tough, tough life when things aren’t going your way.”

“My guys look for me to step up in that magnitude and I take the challenge every time. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, but you’ve got to have a guy that will take those shots and deal with the consequences.”

“I doubted it a few times, whether I would get the opportunity that I’ve always longed for, and that’s being a starting point guard on a very good team and having a lot of responsibilities.”

“I want the game to be on me, win or lose.”

“I've dreamed of this opportunity all my life, and the way my career had gone, it seemed like my chance was kind of drifting away. But I never gave up. I never gave up on what I felt I could do.”

“I'm very, very comfortable with my situation now. I mean, finally, I've hundred percent gained stability.”
