“I just go and play hard. That’s who I am.”

“My strength is under the goal and the turnaround J. I could shoot a 17 footer, but I prefer to stay inside. I love to dunk. That gets me excited, hyped. I love the power.”

“I can’t be someone I’m not. I try to be a warrior on the court, but where I come from, being macho doesn’t get you anywhere.”

“I used to get down on myself a lot if I missed a shot, and it would just break my focus. But now I stay mentally tough and try to just forget about that play and keep on going.”

“I can be one of the dominant players, maybe the dominant player, in the East.”
