You can call it what you want: bad attitude, immature. You can say, 'He's a thug.' But I'm a competitor.

It's just, some players I don't respect. Just their playing style of basketball. I don't respect it. I feel like it's basically cheating and I don't respect a cheater. If that's your tactic to winning, I don't respect you.

I'm a guy that a lot of people look up to. I haven't always handled situations the right way. That's why I have to continue to grow and be a better player, a better leader.

It's hard getting the rhythm when you're not seeing the ball go through the basket.

I actually prefer teammates that have emotions. It means you care, compared to a guy that's kind of just nonchalant and goes about it like it doesn't matter. So I want guys that care. I want guys that show they care.

Coming into the league, everyone said I was going to be fat, I was the next Oliver Miller. I had all these red flags. I just feel I was never given a fair chance coming in.

I know I've done bad things. But I've done just as much good as I have done bad. And it's not even necessarily bad. I would say they're growing pains.

No matter how much time there is, if guys can come together and mesh and play with some type of chemistry, you're going to win games.
