"What I'm doing right now, I'm chasing perfection."

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

"The guy said NBA players are one in a million, ... I said, 'Man, look, I'm going to be that one in a million."

"You always have to be on edge. You always have to take every practice, every game, like it is your last."

"Sometimes I do wonder what college would have been like. But I made my decision."

"The motivation for me is just the game itself, just playing the game the right way and trying to win, compete every time I step out there on the floor. That's motivation enough for me to go out there and play well."

"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."

"As far as carrying the torch for the years to come, I don't know. I just want to be the best basketball player I can be."

"I don't want to be the next Michael Jordan, I only want to be Kobe Bryant."

"Every storm passes. I don't scare too easily."
