I get that every game. High school. At Duke. When I do the introductions, I get a little butterflies. Once I step on the floor, I'm fine.
When I found out dairy was an inflammatory, which I had no idea about, I cut that out.
Every game is going to be different.
I've always been a physical player.
It's nice to be able to go against bigger guys and be able to bang.
I don't worry about individual matchups.
First time we played together was when I was in seventh grade, he was in eighth. There was a lot of buzz in the city about Jabari Parker, rightfully so. He's obviously a major player. I was just blessed to have him one year ahead of me, so everything I did, he already finished. I've been really blessed to have him by my side.
The games are really long when you're not out there.
I think I can play power forward; I think I can play center as well.
It feels good when your teammates are telling you on the bench that they're hyped.
I've always won. I've won the state championship, national championship, all that stuff.
Being the No. 1 pick isn't that important to me.
When you have a dominant big man, that changes the aspects of the game.
I didn't want to go to any school but Duke: the best of the best.
I think I'm a great teammate.
Ever since third grade - I never even noticed it until after the game - people were telling me how crazy my dad is. I think I'm so locked in when I'm playing on the floor, I only hear him maybe during timeouts or when we're up 20 or 30 and I'm on the bench. But when I'm in the game, I don't hear him.
I'm a winner. I've always been a winner.
I have videos of me playing basketball in diapers.
My main focus, my pride is right there on the block. That's where I've always played and my focus has always been.
When I pictured myself in the NBA, I always imagined myself with an older guy taking me under his wing.
