Believe in yourself.

I'm a Mobile, Alabama kid.

I love it here in New Orleans.

I don't like to be proved wrong.

Who knew I was blowing my Achilles?

Dream big and anything is possible.

I love Sacramento. I consider this home.

I want to put Sacramento back on the map.

A lot of the mistakes I made were my fault.

There are ignorant individuals in every city.

My main purpose every night is to win a game.

I'm a guy with a big heart who cares about people.

I don't want to be Boogie. I just wanna be DeMarcus.

I know my mindset. I know how hard I work at my craft.

God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.

I'm goofy. I like to have fun. I'm always joking around.

D.C. basketball has adopted me, and I consider D.C. home.

I'm grateful for every opportunity. I learned the hard way.

I have my family, my loved ones and they love me for who I am.

The first thing I got my mom when I got some money was a house.

The whole basketball world, it's a fantasy and it's short-lived.

My mom did what she could and I was grateful for whatever it was.

The beginning to correcting all of our mistakes is communication.

This is a frustrating sport. There are a lot of emotions involved.

I'm just a basketball player. There's so much I can do on the floor.

What people don't realize is that this is the entertainment business.

Health is probably the No. 1 thing that gets overlooked for a player.

I grew up in a rough area, went to an all-black school, public school.

I'm big when it comes to respect. But it's a two-way street, in my eyes.

You make yourself be whatever the hell you want to be, at the end of the day.

I love the game. I think that's obvious, and I'm very passionate in what I do.

I never in a million years would have thought I would end up with Golden State.

Social media is the devil. Absolute devil. Oh, my God. It's the worst thing ever.

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

I don't do things to be rewarded. I help people because it's the right thing to do.

If I started smiling all the time, people would say, 'DeMarcus must not care anymore.'

I'm going to make the best decision for me, and I believe teams are going to do the same thing.

Hopefully with my so-called celebrity, I can help open more people's eyes to Epilepsy disorders.

I've kind of been doubted my whole life. I use that as fuel to continue to push every single day.

I grew up in a household where we watched a lot of comedy. It's just something I've always enjoyed.

If you were to ask me, I think my jersey will be hanging in the rafters when I retire in Sacramento.

I'm all about being a role model to kids. I enjoy doing it, and I like putting smiles on kids' faces.

I've never been a guy who plays the political game. It's either right or wrong; that's how I was raised.

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

I can remember games where the crowd was the reason we won it. It's well known the Kings have incredible fans.

Some of what I get, I deserve; I do some dumb stuff sometimes. But I do not deserve the perception that I have.

If you judge me only by my profession, you don't know me at all. Those people who do that? They'll never know me.

I've been the type to just get up and go or I'm finding something to do, I'm on some type of grind every single day.

We in a nasty business, at times. I don't even say that in a good or bad way. It's just no place to get too emotional.

The opportunity to represent my country at the Olympic Games is one of the greatest honors I've experienced in my career.
