We loved our dad. My mom loved her husband. But at the end of the day, I think, he did what he was supposed to do in this world. He had five kids and raised us right. That's the most important thing.

It starts with my family. That drives me every day, just seeing them smiling.

I think my rookie, I was just having fun. I was 18, and I was living the American dream.

I'm a really competitive guy. I'm a really stubborn guy. That's what makes me want to take Milwaukee to the top, make Milwaukee a big market team. That's a goal I've set for myself. Hopefully, one day I can achieve it.

I'm just trying to be the best basketball player I can be, you know, move the ball.

I'm a guy who doesn't really care about glamour and big markets; I like to be home all day.

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 was selling stuff probably since I could remember, like 6 or 7 years old. I was always out there helping my mom and dad sell watches, glasses, CDs, DVDs, stuff like that. Whatever we could put our hands on. I did it until I was around 17. But I was just doing it because I had to. There was no other option.

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.

I think my jump shot could get a lot, lot better. I could become a really big threat out there.

To be one of the best to ever play the game? I think I have the ability to do that. But I've got to work hard. If I just keep talking and don't put some work in, it's not going to happen.

I always had to be there for my family. I think that helped me a lot to adjust to the NBA.

Obviously, Kobe is one of the greatest players to ever play the game.
