On weathering life’s challenges: 

Everything negative – pressure, challenges – is all an opportunity for me to rise.

On the importance of teamwork:
I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.
On aspiring for greatness
These young guys are playing checkers. I’m out there playing chess.
On parental love: 
My parents are my backbone. Still are. They’re the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.
On being yourself 
I don’t want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant.

There’s been a lot of talk of me being a one-man show but that’s simply not the case. We win games when I score 40 points and we’ve won when I score 10.
