I Tweeted Keri Hilson the other day and she actually wrote back! I was so excited.
Everything has been such a whirlwind ever since I stepped foot in the league and everything has been like a dream, so I’m just blessed to be in this position.
I probably play games more than I practice.
You know, I don’t want to stand out too much.
I was just a big fan of tattoos always growing up, and I wanted something cool that symbolizes what I’ve been through in my life, and everything on my chest and my back is like a collage.
I play because I have fun. The vets of this team, I just wanted to say thanks to them. You guys mean so much to me. I can have a terrible day and walk in the gym and have Hasheem smile at me. That will change my day.
I’ve heard a few times, in three or four years, this league is going to be yours. I don’t like that. Because I think I’m established now.
I want to be one of the best players in the game.
If I continue to just get to the playoffs every year, I guess you could say I arrived, but right now I’m just trying to find my way.
In this league, experience means a lot.
Every memory I have from when I was a kid involves basketball.
Chemistry is important. If you like your teammates, it’s going to be easier to play with them on the court.
I love Oklahoma. The fans have been with me every night. What more can you ask for?
You gotta win. That’s all it takes.
It feels good to be a part of history.
It feels good to come here and be a winning program.
It’s part of my game, getting to the free-throw line and being aggressive. If you say that I get superstar calls or I get babied by the refs, that’s just taking away from how I play. That’s disrespectful to me.
I like the nucleus that we have. I’m excited. I want to be here as long as possible. It’s like family. I love being here.
If I’d gone straight to the NBA, I don’t think I would have been ready as a player or a person.
Our best years are only ahead of us, so we got to continue to keep pushing.
