I always bounce back.

I just like competing.

I love to challenge people.

It's cool to turn some heads.

I'm a big guard, whether a 1 or 2.

Hockey and soccer weren't my thing.

It's kind of like, I'm just a guard.

Coach Cal really makes you look good.

It was a lot of fun to grow up in Canada.

The fourth quarter is where players are made.

I always try to demand greatness from myself.

The margin between winning and losing is slim.

I know how to come off a handoff and a pin down.

I just play the game. I'm used to trash talking.

I grew up very disciplined and doing what I had to do.

For it not to be safe for kids in school, it's tragic.

You see who the real people are when they're challenged.

I've had broken fingers and still played for Team Canada.

I had surgery on my core muscles. They were ripping apart.

My defence, that is something I can better at individually.

When Joker hits his three, it opens up the game for everybody.

Not every cop is bad, not every white person is bad or racist.

The color of my skin should not determine whether I live or die.

When me and Joker are on, I don't think there's anyone who can stop us.

I don't want to be hitting one day then not hitting my shots the next day.

When you're successful, a professional athlete, you can help a lot of others.

My dad taught me a lot of meditative techniques. I used that to my advantage.

My dad knows me better than anybody else. He probably knows me better than me.

In life, you find things that hold value to you. You find things to fight for.

You can't go into a game lax and acting like somebody isn't trying to beat you.

Everything is good when you're winning. But true colors come out when you lose.

Everybody knows when I get in the zone... I just kind of go crazy. I have a lot of fun.

I played the two guard in college, and playing point guard is what I've done all my life.

I really pride myself on playing for Canada and representing the country in any way I can.

It's cool to be a pioneer in something, especially in basketball in Canada, it's pretty good.

I'm just trying to be aggressive. Be aggressive with my shot. Be aggressive going to the rim.

Meditation helps me see things clearer. When things are going fast, it helps me slow them down.

Favorite rap album? Damn. Lil Wayne's mixtapes... He got a lot of good mixtapes like 'Da Drought 3.'

When guys get competitive and get under each other's skin, it brings you out more. Some people fold.

I just want to go to the right team. The team that wants me. The team that believes in my potential.

It's hard to say a favorite rapper. If I had to pick two, I'm going to go with Busta Rhymes and Jay-Z.

I want everyone to know: You can play basketball in Canada and you can still get to where you need to go.

Meditation is about breathing, it's about clarity, taking your time and not rushing through your thinking.

Toronto is one of the biggest spots for music; Caribana and OVO Fest and all that stuff, it's a lot of fun.

I was growing up in Kitchener, practising every day on my playground - and it's all about how bad you want it.

I'm not just here to get a paycheck and leave. I'm here to be one of the greatest basketball players to ever play.

Jay-Z just got that longevity. He can put out anything at any time and everybody will love it. He'll never get old.

When I'm talking to my teammates, being the vocal leader, going up and down, pushing everyone, they tend to follow.

Bruce Lee took his craft very seriously, just as my dad took his stuff very seriously. I just loved Lee's attitude.

I just go out there and play basketball. I'm not worried about missing. I just got to be thinking about the next shot.
