It's about continuing to develop as a player and continuing to get better and that's something that I'm hoping to do every single year.
Winning a championship was the best thing that has happened to me that I've been through, that I've seen in my life.
There's no way to practice or run or do anything to match the speed of the game.
For people that know my story, they know how important my dad is.
There are definitely no ceilings. I don't feel no limits at all.
Once you work hard, you're confident. You know what it takes. And you know the hours that you put in to have the results that you have.
I don't worry about the future. I worry about now.
My dad's always going to be my motivation.
The fact that I can come in and give energy to the team, no matter my skill level, I have that. That's an NBA ready skill.
The fact that I will be a relentless rebounder and I will go for every rebound. That's a skill.
A lot of people get to the NBA, but how many people stay in the NBA?
After MIP, it was like, 'OK, there is way more.' We thinking MVP, we thinking All-Star.
I trust the NBA, I trust the league and Adam Silver and the job he's been able to do.
My passion is basketball and I'm so lucky to be able to use this sport to give back to my community.
Basketball is bigger than just a game.
I gotta continue within the offence and just understand it, pick and choose when to attack and things like that.
I always feel like I just wanna go, and that's something that I'm learning every day - understanding to think more instead of just going because I see an advantage or I see that 'oh, I can make this move, I can make this shot.'
I think a lot of kids growing up, we have dreams.
We think about a lot of things that we want to do and sometimes it might feel like, you know, it's not even possible, that we can't really achieve that. But I think it's really important to let kids know, starting from when they're young, that if they put their mind to something and put the time in, they can definitely achieve it.
It's easy to relax and get comfortable but you can't be comfortable if you want to be great.
