I always want to win because I never want to sit out on the sidelines outside.

So many people doubted me. They motivated me every single day, to be, who I am.

When people are used to you doing something, they want you to stay in that lane.

I look at my jersey and see the NBA logo, I'm like, 'I didn't think I'd be here.'

I Tweeted Keri Hilson the other day and she actually wrote back! I was so excited.

For me, as a 14-year-old aspiring to be in the NBA, I wanted to hear from players.

I love Oklahoma. The fans have been with me every night. What more can you ask for?

All the support from all my friends, All my family over the years, I appreciate it.

I'm not trying to be like what I thought an NBA player is supposed to be growing up.

I like what I like, I am who I am, I know what I want to do, you know what I'm saying?

The grass is not always greener on the other side. You learn to appreciate these people.

I play basketball. I can't control the media, the way I play. I can't control all of it.

You know, I think more people should watch women's basketball. It'd do so much for the game.

Set the goal and work all days for it, until you achieve, I want to be a champion, the best!

I'm going to let you know the real, and I'm going to let you know the real as I can about me.

I know that the hard work got me here. And the day I stop working hard, this can all go away.

My style has changed and evolved mainly because I've grown to have more confidence in myself.

I'm going to show you my faults, I'm going to show you my insecurities, I'm going to be real.

I'm here to shine a bright light. I'm not here to be a guy of death. I just like 'KD' better.

No lie, just had one of the best times of my life at Rucker park..wow! I love NYHarlem waddup.

If I'd gone straight to the NBA, I don't think I would have been ready as a player or a person.

I want people to know what they didn't know about me. I just wanted them to know the real side.

I've learned that it's harder to try to put on this goody two-shoes persona when that's not me.

We're talking too much about what goes on in the stands, nothing about what goes on on the court.

I would describe my style as off the wall. I like stuff that doesn't match. I just like to stand out.

I don't know what I'm going to do tomorrow. I just know for sure I'm going to keep playing basketball.

With a versatile player, there's no spot on the court you can't pass him the ball. You can do anything.

I'm just more content with myself. Like, if I've got something to say, I want to get it off of my chest.

I want to have some stuff that I keep for myself, my friends, my family, my loved ones. That's how I view.

Music has always been a big part of my life. It's kind of like a refuge for me. I just use it to get away.

Chemistry is important. If you like your teammates, it's going to be easier to play with them on the court.

I learned how to pass when I was real young. That's one thing I always knew how to do was find the open man.

I feel as though I've proved myself these last five years that I can be one of the top players in the league.

I fell so many times and got back up. I been through the toughest times with my family, but I’m still standing.

I just loved being in the gym. It was tough at times. Sometimes I wanted to quit, but I'm glad I stuck with it.

My mom just wants to make sure that my heart is always in whatever I do and I'm in things for the right reasons.

If I'm educated and passionate about a topic, I'll answer the question. But I also know when to shut the hell up.

I'm just trying to grow. That's one thing I told myself is, 'Don't worry about who people say is the best player.'

I'm just trying to grow. That's one thing I told myself is, 'Don't worry about who people say is the best player'.

Last, I just want to thank God again. He's the first and the last. Alpha and Omega. I thank you for saving my life.

I've got a long way to go to being the ultimate best, but I think my time is now. And I'm starting to enter my prime.

I'm not going to act like I'm this person that I'm not, because I operate bad in that space, you know what I'm saying?

I've just got to let my teammates know in practice, without even telling them, that I don't think I'm ahead of anybody.

In the game of basketball, I play first off because I love it. I love to have fun. I love to run up and down the court.

I like the nucleus that we have. I'm excited. I want to be here as long as possible. It's like family. I love being here.

My acting coach I've got here, Richard Lawson, he's been doing good, just telling me to calm down sometimes and just be me.

If it's controversy out there, or if it's some false stories out there, I want to clear it up. That's just what I'm all about.

This means the world to me that you guys are here with me celebrating with me. Thank you. Thank you. I can’t express it enough.

I like to sit on things and digest them and then I'll figure out my next move, but I never said I was right for doing anything.

It's all about knowing the balance, because I like to remain somewhat of a mystery. You need to have that, you know what I mean?
