I am honored to be the first international player featured on the cover of 'NBA 2K19.'

I have worked hard to earn recognition in the NBA, and being on the cover of 'NBA 2K19' is a dream come true.

When LeBron came into the league, I was 9 years old. So I grew up watching him play.

It's hard when the season ends and you're not waking up no more for practices, games. You're not in your routine no more.

I want to be an all-around basketball player.

I know I can get to the basket whenever I want, but I've got to be able to create some plays, like easy plays.

Music is a huge part of my life when I am on the road, working out, or preparing for a game. It is something I always go back to, and it is something that motivates me. It gets me hype before a game.

Whatever I try to do, I always try to give it my best and try to be a killer because, at the end of the day, if you don't work hard, you are not going to get food on your table.

I watched a lot of Scottie Pippen, Magic Johnson, Kevin Durant, and a lot of Paul Pierce. I used to watch Tracy McGrady as well along with Kevin Garnett.

With back-to-backs, a lot of games, sometimes you think, 'I've got to take a day off today.' But you have to push through it. The greats did.

Milwaukee is really quiet. The people here are really respectful. They can see me in the street, walking on the road. I can go to anyplace in Milwaukee without people being all over me. I appreciate that.

A lot of players will tell you, 'When I was a kid, I watched Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, LeBron, Magic, and I wanted to be just like them.' For me, it wasn't like that at all.

I love Milwaukee! I'm going to be in Milwaukee 20 years! I'll be here so long, they'll be sick of me!
